“I had this enlightenment and I was fascinated by film and moviemaking and fell in love with the art of creating a film. I got back into acting as a means to get my foot in the door for directing and behind the scenes part, to get in on the set and learn it that way. But then I started falling in love with acting again, so it’s kind of a hobby turned profession. Directing is something that I’ve always wanted to do, though.”
