I always loved playing the sidekick, and that's what I expected - I didn't think I was pretty enough or diva enough to play the lead.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I shouldn't say this, but I always love the sidekicks. I want to do a leading-lady role in a film - absolutely. But I find that a lot of times I get attracted to the sidekick role. They stand out a little more because they're quirkier, they're funnier, they're crazier.
I always felt sorry for the sidekick as a kid. They never got their due and it left a very bad taste in the mouth - they are defined by a subordinate relationship to someone else. I always felt like a bit of sidekick when I was a kid and it didn't feel fair.
It always staggers me when series don't use their sidekicks.
The sidekick business has been good to me.
I think it kind of took being a character actor to kind of now enter into leading ladies.
I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.
I always knew I'd be more of a character actor than a leading man, and I always wanted to take that and run with it.
I never wanted to play a character that hated herself. I wanted people to know that those aren't the only roles for people like me, normal girls.
Being on a show with a female lead is amazing for me. I love that.
I hate all sidekicks.
