else's life on screen.”
“I think God made this very path for me, and he guided me all throughout. And my family
has always been very supportive. It's not like one day I sat across the dinner table and told
them I want to be an actor. It didn't happen like that.”

because I want to do two films a year and sit at home, someone else will.”
