![“I love going into rehearsals day after day for three, four weeks, trying stuff, coming back the next day, building on that. So many times I'd drive home from the studio [after] shooting and I'd be thinking about a certain moment, and I'd think, "Oh, I know what to do!"” quote by Anthony Heald](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/14f/anthony-heald-55814_building_i-love-going-into-rehearsals-day-after-d_885895.jpg)
