#AlexOLoughlin ‘s Diary ( # 4 ) – Life goes on………

Never mind that the project you’re in isn’t good; shine as bright as you can. And find the truth. We are either in the truth or we’re not. The truth is difficult to get to. This conversation we are having is the truth. We get to this place and the cameras are rolling, we’re great.”

– Alex O’Loughlin, Actors workshop HI, March 2011.
