I feel like, especially in Hollywood, you meet people with ulterior motives, who are trying to get something from you.
I love the nostalgic feel of the '80s and, oh, I love Winona Ryder so much. I was such a huge fan of hers growing up, so breathing the same air as her was an honor for sure.
I'm aware that I don't look like the traditional or the stereotypical type of Hollywood starlet and that is OK with me.
I think once I kind of got to a place of self-acceptance, looking past all the insecurities that I have, I've really grown so much as a person.
Specifically, my time in therapy has changed my life. It was such a relief to have a trained professional listen to my thoughts and help me positively restructure my thinking.
Acting isn't always about the amount of talent you have, or your ability to cry on command. The point is, how well can you take direction? How well can you put aside your own ideas or ego and listen to the ideas of the director and the people above you, while not giving up the passion and drive of that character?
