    • Quotes
      [on opening an acting school in Bucharest] I started The Acting School four years ago. It is a personal project, very dear to me. It is partially funded through tuition from people that can afford to pay it, and by me, for people that couldn't afford tuition but have something 'going on,' like Rafael [actor Rafael Florea]. People from various backgrounds attend classes, spanning from ex-cons to established actors in the same class. So, it is not only for people that didn't study acting in an institute, but for people who want to study film acting in a different way. More direct, more visceral, very intuitive, without so much 'compromise' and 'protection.' They learn from me and from each other.[2015]
