Quotes[]

We have an amazing dialect coach called Naomi Todd, and her and I just went up and down the forest hills surrounding the Aes Sedai camp trying to drill the lines into me. Because that has to sound like something that she’s said constantly to herself. And there has to be a certain flow to it.
