“I had never done a movie where I was singing and dancing and I don’t profess to be a natural singer and dancer, but I do feel at this stage of my life I am comfortable with learning something completely new, and I’m comfortable with not being an expert at something. That allows me the space to learn and grow in a certain craft.
“I don’t know that anyone has ever said that. But you surrender to the process. You’re working with these people who are absolute experts at their craft and they have a lifetime of experience.
