"I wont lie, when you are into theatre ... first, people like to assume that a professional actor is only the one thats on TV, but thats a lie, because there are professional actors making a living in theatre. For me, personally, when I graduated with my diploma, I didnt want to do TV (jobs)."

"I think theres no difference in acting for TV and for theatre, that was just me ... As long as you are telling the truth and you are true to the script and to the character. You can get away with anything as long as you tell the truth."

"In terms of his life as a character, its been hard. In terms of me as an actor, its been a great journey to have to play such a complex character and to have to challenge myself to gelling to the emotion, to the life and to the imaginary lifestyle that he has. Its been a learning curve for me and I am still trying to understand where I can go further in terms of my career."

"When people like or love you for your work, they can even see you behind a mask!"

"When youre into theatre and you are lucky enough to gigs in theatre, we tend to think that TV actors are coconuts. So I didnt want to do TV because I thought I was gonna be one of those cheesy actors ... However, as time went by, I grew and became a man with responsibilities and the luxury to choose? Well, that was demolished and I had to audition for TV,"
