Quote

People sometimes say, 'Oh, you were a movie star,' and I'm like, 'No, I was a supporting actress.' I wasn't an A-list actress, and I'm fine with that. I'm proud of what I did in film.

I'll have these internal moments where I'm empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I'm like, How can I see the best in this situation? Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.
