Assumption Quote by Veena Sud

“Before I write anything, before I create any assumption in…” quote by Veena Sud — Download Open image

“Before I write anything, before I create any assumption in my mind about what it's like to be in that world, I go out there first. I'm very drawn to darkness and light, very drawn to cop drama, because there are very few places besides war and murder and a homicide investigation where you see the extremes of human nature - the darkest crevices and cracks in what people do to one another.”
