Quotes
The young star
A young actor in the cast of the show
“It's a funny thing because I'm such a huge fan of the books, we all are. So it's kind of hard for us to separate... obviously certain things can't be adapted. And some things have to be changed for an adaptation. And so it's hard to separate like, book Grover from show Grover. And I always get the two mixed up because they're so similar but so different in certain aspects. It's funny to me to kind of feel ownership over both of these characters, who were very different but the same. And so I'm always like giving things from the book that I want to happen. And they're like, that wouldn't make sense with the journey that he's on. And it's weird for me to keep track of it.”
