Quotes from the episode:
“I remember when I first went to the campus, my parents dropped me off and it was the last day that they were in the UK. I did my goodbyes, I went back to my room and I was just sitting in my bed thinking, wow.”
“So that's why I thought, you know what? To even get a shot at things I just need to take the risk and that’s what I did.”
“I think that just getting your foot at the door is a huge blessing.”
“That's where my head was at and I made the decision to direct something just to see if I could do it and push myself. You just need to go out of the box a little bit.”
