You can hold tight to a character and say, This is mine, or you can just kind of say, Hey, you know what? This is the next generation.
The Sound of Music was just such an honour to be in, because it was a movie that appeals to so many people, and they just loved it so much and they still love it to this day.
People think it must be wonderful being in movies or on television, but it can be very tough on a child. I had two friends in elementary school. That was it. There was a clique of girls that were brutal to me. They pulled some very mean stuff. My two friends got me through it. Without them, I would have been all alone.
My shadow in my art is one way I trace who I was and where I have been. My shadow and I have been on a journey for quite a while now!
