My advice to young people who want to act is just to do it as much as you can! Find friends who also want to do it and have readings of great plays in your apartment.

For me, a story begins with music: I feel the rhythm, the cadence, the pulse of the characters and their voices and the setting. Because I had just finished writing a book called ‘Black Potatoes: The Story of the Great Irish Famine,’ I was already filled with the music of the lives and culture of the Irish people, so I thought, why not use it? – Susan Campbell Bartoletti
