Asia Kate Dillon
American Actor
I would love to do things that teach me new skills. Like, I don't know how to ride a horse. And not that I need a film or television project to teach me that, but it's one of the perks of being an actor, inhabiting a character who has experiences and a knowledge that I don't.
Quote examples
Angela Kinsey
American Actress
