The series was hitting us. The second season, the structure and all that.”

It has never affected me and I know how to leave my character where I have to leave it, I never take it home. But what I do, is that I need an important discipline and an important training to be able to do all the scenes that are there and do a little bit of everything. I’m not an expert in anything, but at least I do the ‘pull’ to make it look like I do know.”
