Amanda Schull quotes
-

-- Amanda Schull -
“I love to work. I know that sounds ridiculous to say because all people love to work, but I love the homework that goes into acting. I love figuring out different ways of playing a scene. I love the energy of being on set. I love not getting enough sleep because I have to wake up early in the morning.”

“It gets better. It gets so much easier to be in your skin no matter what size that skin is.

-- Amanda Schull -
