- I'm blessed to be playing such a glorious character & thank my lucky stars that Philippe, Versailles, the cast & crew have come into my life. Looking back, I just wish I was better prepared for the undertaking when I got the offer. There was a lack of maturity in me back then that stifled the journey somewhat. Hindsight though is a wonderful thing.
- The reason why I'm an actor is the enjoyment of inhabiting someone that is so far from you, so you get to experience someone else's life.
