Actor Quote by Sophie Thatcher
“Why do I choose horror? I think it feels the most like a release, in a sense. It can be therapeutic. Because you can go to that extreme that isn't normalised in everyday life and being as intense as possible, there's something very fulfilling about that as an actor and being vulnerable and opening up.”
