Quote
1
I know many see theatre as "play", but for those of us who have chosen to dedicate ourselves to it, it is our livelihood. It is how we intend to buy a home (apartment), have children, and raise a family. Who wouldn't want to fight for that?
2
Acting is so fulfilling, but when I sing...well, there are no words. It is who I am.
