Quotes:

In movies we travel to other worlds, we dream, we feel happy, we ask questions and sometimes question ourselves, we feel excited, we fall in love, we feel the hope and courage, we get inspired, we remember and learn things. I think that makes acting an idealistic job.

I don't really know what I'll do in the future. I will go wherever life takes me. I've learned that you mustn't have too many plans and dreams for the future.
