“It wasn’t my place. I never did well. I really struggled and I really wanted to do well… it just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t my place. I didn’t really have any great teachers who saw me until I found acting was where I felt safe. So, yeah, it was the right decision.”

“I was given the gift of learning by watching such amazing actors, but I also spent so much time alone. I was in a different country alone during lockdown. I was given the opportunity that I didn’t want to mess up. Because I didn’t know if an opportunity like this would ever come again.”
