What people are saying
I never thought it was an obstacle.
If you are going to experience success or failure in life, I think that is entirely up to you; I don’t think it is right to blame other things.
On the second day after I went back to the set seven years later, I felt at home, as if I had always been waiting in the trailer.
We have never experienced the disadvantage.
