Quotes
“I started acting when I was really little; it’s always been something that I’ve been interested in, I never explored much else.”
“I started auditioning for everything that came my way; I didn’t book anything until around 2016. It’s a lot of working your way up to more and more noticeable roles. It’s been quite a journey, but it’s been characterized by my focus—this is what I want to do, and this is what I love to do, so I kept at it.”
” I didn’t have a backup plan, so I was pouring everything into this one avenue. It can be a good thing, but it can also create doubt and often made me question if I’d made the right decision. Continuing took a lot of self confidence, and constant reminders that life is a marathon and not a sprint—to keep the faith, maintain confidence, and persevere.”
“My biggest piece of advice is to celebrate the small victories and remind yourself early on that even having an audition is a win.”
“It’s hard to maintain perspective when you are not getting callbacks or you’re not booking. Try to remember going in that getting invited and going in for auditions is phenomenal.”
“A question that a lot of actors get is, “How do you deal with rejection?” I reject the word rejection because once you’re invited, then you’re invited. There’s no taking that back. Timing, direction, some other factor is the reason you’re not booking it, not because you don’t belong in the industry.”
“I feel great privilege to be working at all in this industry, and to have the opportunity to participate in the creative process of this show. I’m excited to see how industry diversity continues to grow and progress and allow more space for a variety of female voices.”
“There’s a Bible verse I think about often because my dad says it so much. When I was younger and he’d frustrate me, he wouldn’t even start talking and I’d say, “I know what you’re gonna say.” But any anytime I’d feel uptight or anxious, he would say, “Be anxious for nothing, but in all things give thanks.” It’s a really good starting place for virtually any situation.”
“Whenever we’re afraid, or particularly anxious, choosing a position of gratitude is the best way to reframe the situation.”
“My dad was an actor in the Bay Area before I was born. He was always really passionate about theater and he’s an excellent singer. Both my parents are very creative; my mom got her master’s in Music Education at Stanford. The two of them together shaped the way that I viewed the arts.”
“My parents certainly shaped the way that I perceived reality. Roleplay and acting were ingrained in our family vocabulary. They also took us to a lot of shows and made sure we were always involved in thee arts in some way. All of my siblings, and my sister-in-law as well, are professionally seeking the arts as a result.”
“I’m rethinking a lot because clearly I was underestimating myself; I wasn’t aiming high enough.”
“One thing I hope to do eventually is pour some of my personal resources into projects that need some help getting off the ground. I’m not certain that I’m the best person to captain a creative ship, but I love to fund other people so they can spread their genius. I’m not currently in a position to do that but I’d love to invest in the stories that I care about.”
“I just want to continue working on great projects with great people. I’m not chasing any particular role or medium, I just want to build that positive momentum and keep it going for a long time.”
