Quotes
  • "About five years ago, I made a conscious decision to take acting seriously. It's not an easy job, That's why I decided to stick to projects I really love because if the job's going to be hard, at least I'm going to do something I love. If you hate what you're doing and, on top of that, it's hard, that's not good."
  • "The thought of my daughter dating already gives me ulsers... and I'm not even married yet!"
