I've seen a lot of the United States having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country and instead of learning about it through a textbook I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers.
I saw and I met a lot of people who were in the field. It also provided a context in which I came to respect what the actor did because I saw how difficult it actually was to do.
