“My earliest memory is having my grandfather, who was born in 1899, read the newspaper to me in a foreign language. I was utterly captivated by the fact that he took the time to read it to me. I didn't know what he saying, it was in a completely different language. I think it was in French. But I was just so honored that he was with me and talking to me. It's extraordinary that you know someone from that time, and also someone that's willing to give you the time of day, who's lived through so much.” ThinkingGivingDifferentLanguageMemoriesExtraordinaryGrandfatherHonoredMy GrandfatherForeign Language Author:Nina Arianda

Doubt really can't enter the room when you're auditioning - unless it's part of the character.” LongDifferentCharacterRoomsDoubtNervousAuditionsInsecurePreps Author:Nina Arianda
“Going to the theater or having the honor of performing in theater reminds you of your humanity in a very different way. It's a real release and an incredible challenge.
