Irena A. Hoffman quotes:

I think the most important thing is to stay hopeful, to believe wonderful things are possible and do your best. Basically, to not give up when things get tough, and to learn to truly enjoy and appreciate life, with everything that it brings.

There will be beautiful times and tough times, as such is life, but if your heart is in it, then it is worth it all the way.

My dream was to eventually make movies. To be part of the fairy tales, stories and novels I loved reading so much growing up.

As a kid, my brother and I would read the same novel, we'd memorize entire pages, reenact the book as it's characters, and would immerse in playing like that for hours. I suppose it was a natural follow up, wanting to still play in a similar fashion, but as an adult.

I consider every step towards doing what you love an achievement.

It is very easy to slowly lose your self confidence in a business where rejection is a possibility with every trial. It is a business after all and there are so many amazing actors out there that you'll never really see or hear of simply because they don't have someone of influence backing them.

My plan is to make the best of whatever comes my way.
