"Film gives us a second chance at a first impression."

"Film and television is just a different technique in terms of how to approach the camera but basically the job is the same; but what you learn as a craft in theater, you can then learn to translate that into any mediums."

"Everyone starts a film thinking that it would be a big hit. But sometimes it goes haywire."

"I am hoping to film another ad in the summer for Carte Noire."
