I learned to not judge people so quickly. Acting is all about looking deeper and trying to figure out why somebody does what they do and the reason isn’t usually what’s on the surface. When someone has villainous qualities, you have to ask why they’re doing that! Still waters run deep and that’s what acting has taught me. Some people do make mistakes in life and they deserve second, third, or as many chances as it takes for them to change. Some people are capable of doing it in a day, and it can take others a whole lifetime.

“Rollo gained political power and title through peace and marriage and not by killing a reigning monarch or earl like Ragnar and Lagertha. Rollo found the right way to peace and stability and it was love, understanding and marriage. He saw past differences and, like Ragnar, saw the bigger picture. His infatuation with Gisla helped him take a decision beneficial for both parties; he found the key to real and durable power. Gisla is that key; the key to good rule in Frankia.”

Music's emotional recoil for me. A lot of the big events in my life I associate with music, whether it be sad or happy. Music has helped, even as a kid, get through a lot of things. I try and use it sparingly, but when I really need to get to a place and need an emotional recoil for a scene, I tend to put a playlist together.
