“Acting is the most clear choice I’ve ever made in my life and one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. The drive is unquestionable, like survival. I love what I do and working hard without taking anything for granted in life. I thank my lucky stars and count my blessings every day to be able to say that this is my profession”
