Quotes
“My parents always reminded me to be respectful. That includes respecting your body, friends, family, teachers, nature, the house you live in, the things you use, etc…”
“I’ve always respected the people around me and their creativity, especially when it comes to being on set at work. When you treat people with respect, they usually treat you the same way. They may have different ideas and opinions from yours, but you can still be respectful and work harmoniously together.”
“I attended my agency’s open call audition for dancers and was chosen out of over 200 artists to be represented. I didn’t have any acting experience before that, but as a dancer, I express my feelings and tell stories through dance, which helped me act down the line.”
“When my agent began sending me to auditions, I discovered that I loved acting and it came very naturally to me even though it was a different form of expression than I was used to.”
“I usually research the storyline and the history of the character. I learn a lot from watching different shows and movies and having the chance to work with other cast members – the ones who have been in the industry for so long always inspire me!”
“As my mom always says, “never give up and do your best with your best attitude.” You have to be very patient if you want to work in this industry, especially because you will get so many “no’s” before you get one “yes.””
“I grew up in Vancouver. That’s still where I live now. I got very comfortable living in my hometown and I really love it here. I don’t see myself living anywhere else at the moment.”
“I learned that when it comes to booking jobs, a lot of it is out of your control,” she shares. “You have to endure all those no’s and learn to get through it.”
“A lot of this industry has to do with instinct and feeling. The smallest things can be a reason behind getting a no, so I think that’s why I learned how to not be too hard on myself when it comes to booking new roles and hearing back because a lot of these things are out of my control.”
“The fact that we’re able to create these characters that aren’t ourselves is really interesting to me. To be able to dive into a character that I’m not familiar with is so much fun.”
““With The Baby-Sitters Club, I realized that I do have a voice and that I can accomplish a lot more than I expected. It’s great to see that so many young creators are rising up and taking this work and making it into their own.”
“Working and meeting people who have the same passions as you is the best. You make these relationships that are on a whole other level because you share something that you both enjoy so much.”
“I would love to start directing, writing, and producing. I’m not trying to rush into it at all, but I’ve always had an interest in being behind the camera, so this is definitely a goal of mine for the future.”
“I would love to be a part of this new generation of filmmakers because I think our generation has a lot to say and I can’t wait to see what we all accomplish.”
“Hard work is something that always pays off. That is something I always try to remember, especially when it comes to acting. I feel like a lot of the time, what you put out is what comes back to you, and whenever I try something new, I try to have that outlook.
“I learned that I can just be myself and I don’t have to be afraid of what others think about me. That was something I struggled with a lot before acting and before The Baby-Sitters Club, and I would say Claudia has taught me a lot about being comfortable in my skin. I encourage others to experiment and try their best to be confident in themselves.”
