thinking
I really don't have a specific idea of where I want my career to go, I just have an idea of wanting to continue to work and work on things that I like and think are good.
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.
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 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."
thinking artist our-family
I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.
crazy rich being-crazy
I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.
progress
As you get older and you progress in your career, you start to want to have more control over things and you have ideas.
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.
fun character interesting
Sometimes the characters that I'm most resistant to are the ones that I find the most satisfying to play, because you have to dig deeper and you have to find different parts of yourself that are not necessarily the first thing you access and that's fun and interesting.
character
You have to find something you relate to in every character.
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.
