It was hard to find that transition to adult roles.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That transition from child to adult actor is so incredibly elusive. The roles that were coming to me as a young adult were not that great, but I was taking them anyway to pay the rent. And the more bad roles in bad movies I took, the less anybody wanted me for a good role in a good movie.
The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time.
It is not easy to age in harmony with one's roles.
I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.
Being an adult comes with a whole new set of issues.
Doing 'Young Adult' was really reassuring to me in a lot of ways. It confirmed a lot of suspicions I had about great actors.
Going from a child actor to an adult actor is not an easy thing, and I was sort of lost in a no man's land for a while, trying to figure out who I was as a person, and going from a young actor to an adult actor.
It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.
Some people manage to make that transition from child actor to adult actor seamlessly. But I felt that if I spent my whole life on a film set without taking a few years to do something else, all I would ever know about was film sets.
Making a transition to the adult acting industry was pretty smooth for me, and I had a great balance and a great opportunity not to do just children shows.
