Quotes by Casey Cott
I loved working in Pittsburgh - the theater there is amazing, so many different types of theater.
We've always been really great brothers, and now we're two actors who do very similar things but also very different things.
In high school, I remember feeling like a Jughead - like I was a little bit weird and kind of emotional. I also remember feeling like an Archie - sort of the leader of the pack.
I never wanna lose the joy, passion, or even appreciation for how much fun it is to do what I love.
I definitely enjoyed being in front of an audience, making people laugh, and telling stories, so when I realized I could do all three at the same time, that was it.
