“There's an inbuilt cringe factor to watching yourself on screen.”

“I think it's important to be able to laugh at yourself and not take it all too seriously.”

“You have to have a passion for it. You can't do it for the money or the fame.”

“I've been very fortunate to have worked with some of the best directors in the world.”
