Able Quote by Jonathan Groff

“I sort of have the belief that you work being your character out while you're working on it, or that's been my experience so far. I throw myself into it 100% and try to live in that world, and then when it's over, just sort of be able to leave it behind.” quote by Jonathan Groff
