ADD QUOTES
- Rhea: (on what she likes better - acting or an author) I like acting because I get to pretend I'm someone else, and I get to hang around on a set with a bunch of other people and eat a lot of donuts. I like writing because I can make up stuff in my own head, and I don't have to hand around with a bunch of other people and eat a lot of donuts.
