age believe exposed grew hard until vegetarian
I didn't actually know what a vegetarian was until I was 13 years old. I know in this day and age it's hard to believe that, but I think because I grew up on a farm, I wasn't indulged in magazines, newspapers, Internet, television. And so, for some reason, I was never exposed to what a vegetarian was.

beautiful character talking
There are so many different ways to develop a character - physically, mentally, spiritually and all of that - but the research was really beautiful.
