“I think for anybody who wants to be an actor or who is acting and down on it the key is just staying in it, it’s the decision to say no matter what happens I’m going to find a way to do it, and it might not pay my bills, and it might not be the big show of the town, but I’m going to do this. There’s literally and that, and you know what, that’s the confidence that you walk in the room with." — Nik Walker
