"He's amazing. I started [working with him] before I could read, so I had to learn how to memorize lines and other things in a whole different way, and he was really helpful in explaining acting to a kid. There's a lot of technical rules that you have to abide by, but it's difficult to understand when you're young. So he really put that in a great perspective for me. He would say things like, "You know, you can't look into the camera. Think about it like that's a bubble and if you look at it the bubble will pop."  That's like something that a 4 year old can understand.  So he definitely really helped me in the beginning, and he still does."
