“Sophia is a world class artist with phenomenal skill and talents. Her artistry of truth and trust is heartbreaking to witness and powerful to experience. Directors dream to working with an artist full of passion and intelligence like Sophia; I consider myself lucky. I consider my work better because she’s involved.”
