Additional information:
I think acting picks you whether you like it or not. When I'm sitting reading a script, or memorizing lines, I'm at peace. When I'm on stage or in front of the camera, my soul is awakened. It's as though, this is what I'm called to do. That's the best way I can describe it. It's a very human, ancient craft which I feel drawn to.
