"We laugh a lot. The three of us have worked together for many years. We understand each other, so there is a lot of give and take.

We are highly professional, but have a huge amount of fun, because we love what we do."

"Her talent as an actress, for which I’ve always been full of admiration, and was well aware of, but her prowess as a musician on the piano was a surprise. I was so impressed by her virtuosity on the piano and have ever since, often wondered if she had possibly missed her real vocation."

"She is fun, charming and has a compelling presence"

Depression is something that is not talked about, it is the devil, and because we don't talk about it, it affects us more. Talking about it helps"

"I am in a much better space. Some days are better than others but I am doing better because I have learnt to make myself be present in the moment. I allow my feelings to overwhelm me if they have to. If I am sad, I will be sad. If I am happy, I will be happy. I stay true to myself now"

"It is so hard because I literally put in so much work. I put in so much work for that story. But now it seems that my head is overlooking my work. You guys are not focused on my craft. You guys are more focused on my physicality and my head. I literally work so hard, but you know"
