I wasn't able to relate to anyone on TV growing up, so I wanted to bring my own experiences to the screen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's interesting: I've been doing this since I was 17, and it's kind of weird to see yourself grow up on television.
I did not, like my children and people today, grow up with television as part of my life.
For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
I grew up without a television. It meant that I read lots of books and entertained myself.
Television was a great place for me to kind of fall on my face and make mistakes and be okay with it and move on.
I sometimes found myself more comfortable around my TV family than I did with my own parents and sister.
I always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted to model.
I didn't grow up watching a lot of TV.
In my early shows, I wanted to put myself through a new childhood, disintegrating my whole identity to let the real one emerge.
I was raised by television. It was my first cultural window. It was a constant companion.
