Personal Quotes
I just want to go for it. In every aspect of my life and careers, I just want to give it all I have.
With kiting, you have to land a trick, and in that instant you know whether you won or lost – I knew I could become the best in the world if I trained.
I grew up in the indie world and that’s what I’m used to, but there’s something really incredible about having money behind a film and having the time to do as many takes as you want.
I want to work hard, and when good roles come along I don’t want to pass them up.
You learn so much on set; I don’t know if you learn as much anywhere else as you do when you’re on set, working.
