Advice Quote by Lily Collins
“I'm such a believer in going to set, even when you're not work because I think the best things to be learned, you don't necessarily get from your own scene or from someone speaking to you and telling you advice. I think it's all about watching and just taking it all in. It's not even when the cameras are rolling, necessarily. You can see how they interact with the rest of the crew, and how they deal with being a character and then being themselves.”

![“I did a film recently in the Republic of Georgia [upcoming 'Halo of Stars'] which was based on a long poem written by the director. We found that all these words were beautiful as a poem, but for humans it was more about the emotion or a look than just saying what was there.” quote by Lily Collins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e67/lily-collins-1760_beautiful_i-did-a-film-recently-in-the-republic-of_119700.jpg)
