Maybe this is the way of the world telling me that this is not for you.'"

"He was amazing. He said, ‘I am telling you as an actor and not your father, you have a long way to go. You are nowhere near the finished product, but you are improving with every film. Just keep working and you will get there’. And, as I was walking out of the room, he said that I did not bring you up to be a quitter, so keep fighting. That meant a lot,” the actor added.
