Quotes
- “Telling Lorne was really hard.”
- “This is fresh. It only happened two months ago.”
- “I felt ashamed, because we’re not supposed to, and there’s something unprofessional about it.”
- “The most meaningful moments were moments when, like on a Friday night at rehearsal, I decided to stop and look around at the people who I loved so much and just make a memory of it. Nothing special — we were all just sitting around, and Mikey [Day] was doing a bit or Alex [Moffat] was doing a bit, and we were catching up and just looking around at the crew. Those are the moments that meant the most.”
