Kamand Kojouri
“Art doesn’t give rise to anything in us that isn’t already there. It simply stirs our curious consciousness and sparks a fire that illuminates who we have always wanted to be.”
Kamand Kojouri

Stewart Stafford
“Great acting is as much about the choices a performer makes as it is about their ability.”
Stewart Stafford
