We're all on a journey. The average American switches professions four times. I'm lucky to be in a business where I can change the character I am playing every couple of months.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been really lucky to play sort of a diverse array of characters over my relatively short career, although it feels really long.
Doing jobs that are completely different to the last thing I did pushes me as an actor to change as much as I can. It would be easy for me to stay in a similar vein of characters or jobs, but I'm drawn to challenging myself.
I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.
You know, I consistently change in my own life so the roles I'm suitable for also change, and that's a really nice thing about this profession.
I've been fortunate to play many different types of characters thus far. However, I really enjoy playing roles that are different than who I am personally. You can have these small fantasy worlds where you can be people you would otherwise never get to be: a doctor, a lawyer, a ruthless business woman.
It's one of the main things that I love about my job. You are never playing yourself, so I really love that I get to be someone else, play a different character and take on that persona, but I also have to take on their qualifications.
I'm beginning to get pigeonholed as the girl who plays the crazies and weirdoes - and that's not the entirety of who I am. Hopefully, the whole point of being in this profession is that you change into anyone you want to be.
I have been really lucky in my career, with the diversity of it. I get to play really complex people.
The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.
I've been very lucky with my career and don't feel like I'm being typecast in the same role over and over again.
