## Quotes

> She's very determined and ambitious, and she's a very keen learner, and that's something I really resonate with -- Egwene -- and I really think that's why a lot of people are so drawn to her, because she's, you know, really looking towards the future, and a really admirable quality about her is that she's got this incredible sense of duty, to herself but also to society, and so I think that's kind of a constant battle for her. Like, do I stay back in the Two Rivers and kind of live out the life that would work for everyone and make everyone happy, or do I go on to the world outside and give what I can give to people all around the world. So she's really -- you can tell she's got something in her, you can tell she knows that she's destined for great things, and that's something that's really exciting about playing Egwene, that you can kind of feel this electric energy inside of you that excites you for her journey and what she's gonna do.
