Drama Quotes

I’m not consciously avoiding doing a lot of period drama, but I don’t really seek it out either Picture Quote #1

Outside of ‘Justified,’ I do like to keep it to comedy. When I’m not there, I try to seek out stuff that sort of more along the lighter fare. I have more fun on those sets than I do on drama sets just because when it’s heavy, it’s heavy, and it’s hard to get away from it Picture Quote #1

I never really excelled in any particular subject, but I was just alright at all of them. I never really knew what I wanted to do until I discovered drama Picture Quote #1

About Grade 9 and Grade 10, I had a fantastic drama teacher, and it was one of the first subjects I actually felt that I was good at. I wasn’t a mathematician. Didn’t like science, any of those subjects. English and Drama were the two subjects that I loved and felt that I was good at Picture Quote #1

You know, a lot of actors I think go into acting for therapy from whatever trauma has affected them as children. But for me, I think I sought out the drama. That’s why I like doing what I do Picture Quote #1
