Quotes

“I feel I was very blessed to be diagnosed at eight years old. I was old enough to understand what was going on, for the most part, but young enough to adapt quickly. I first managed my diabetes using insulin syringes but quickly switched to the pen.

“My advice to someone who is diagnosed [with diabetes] around that age is to embrace it. Going back to school can be extremely challenging at first. But most people will not know much about diabetes and will be eager to learn. So don’t be afraid to talk about it and don’t hide it. It is now a part of you and you can celebrate that thing that makes you different.”

“If there’s one thing that I will take away from this quarantine and the pandemic, it’s how relationships are important. Just simply by being there for someone, hugging someone, I was never a hugger ever. But the fact that I can’t hug- when my Mom comes to town, I won’t be able to hug her.”

“It’s about being kind to the people in your life, because you never know when you are going to see them or talk to them again. Don’t take anyone for granted, be there for them.”

“I don’t think in my wildest dreams I ever thought I would get to be a superhero. It’s something that’s so special. It’s like your name gets put on this list. I’m forever part of the DC Universe. It was also so much more fun than I was ever expecting.”

“Growing up, one of my favorite superheroes was always Spider-Man, specifically the Tom Holland Spider-Man. The first one came out when I was graduating high school, so I just loved seeing this guy balance high school while simultaneously balancing being a superhero. And Stargirl has so much of that.”

“Even in my personal life, I’m a very goaloriented person and I like to help people achieve their goals. And I feel like Courtney has a lot of that, so I pull from my own life. But even me as Brec, I pull things from Courtney. The way she sees the best in people regardless of circumstances.”

“I definitely feel pressure to perform and stay on top of my game, because it is hard. The hours we work are not for the faint of heart. But I think one of my best attributes is my self-awareness, so I’m also very good at not putting too much pressure on myself for the roles I play, because there’s only so much I can do as Brec.”

“I wanted to be an astronaut until I was about 6, and when I found out the moon wasn’t made of cheese, I didn’t wanna be an astronaut anymore.”

“The hardest time I’ve had so far in my career was getting an agent. I could not get an agent to save my life. I was sending out my headshots every month to every Texas agent for probably two years. We would never hear back. And so I’d spend more money on more headshots.”

“I always like to ask my fellow actors, “How did you get into acting?” And I find the main consistency among all of us is “acting class.” We were all working on our craft, training, being around fellow actors, and through that, you meet people, you learn, and that’s where I finally met my manager who’s still my manager today, who finally helped me get an agent, which is the reason I came out to LA.”

“I would say I book probably only one out of every 100 auditions I go on.”

“I’m a very nervous person in general. So definitely some deep breaths to calm myself. I say a little prayer, and then I go and do it.”

“I’ve always wanted to play a villain! Most of my career I have played the “girl next door” or “team leader,” and I think it would be so fun and really push me in my craft to play a villain.”

Brec Bassinger has risen to prominence due to her relentless hard work to pursue her dream career. Besides, she is not afraid to take on various challenging roles on the screen.
