crazy rich being-crazy
I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.
rejected
I work constantly to be better at being rejected.
dream mean people
Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.
real being-real
We're all eaters. That's our bond. Let's be real.
children thinking age
I wanted to be a writer for a while. I was an excellent child writer. I won multiple poetry contests. I was published at age three - I think that was more about novelty than my immense talent.
writing winning thinking
There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.
You never know what's going to happen, so you just continue with your head down and never expect things to start being handed to you.
thinking winning people
I think that it's a myth that there's one job that makes your whole career, unless you're winning an Oscar. But even that doesn't work for some people.
thinking artist our-family
I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.
class acting fool
What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.
country school competition
In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.
thinking worry problem
For years while I was working as a waitress, all I wanted to do was get on a TV show. You think, "This will solve all the problems. I'm making more than 400 dollars a week; I don't have to worry about money ever again," but it's just not true.
rejection world problem
Being an actor is definitely not the hardest job in the world - it's definitely a first-world problem to have, but I'm not very good with rejection. I constantly question whether or not I'm suited for this business, because it is your job to get rejected.
thinking trying problem
There are problems everywhere, of course, but you can only see those certain problems when you reach a certain level. So I try to think of those problems as, "This is a sign that I'm having success, that I'm also having issues with this."
