Actor Quote by Mark Strong
“In the film industry you never really know if all the various ingredients will come together - sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. As an actor, you don't have much control over those things. It's a director's medium in that sense. All you can really do is minimise the risks of being involved in something that might not work and look for something that also suits you.”

![“[Before I Go To Sleep] script was a great journey with all the twists and turns that were kind of unexpected. I had to finish the script, and I thought if we can emulate this in the film, it's going to be a really good film.” quote by Mark Strong](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/dfc/mark-strong-9188_emulate_before-i-go-to-sleep-script-was-a-great_523000.jpg)
