I told her that her award was so well deserved, and she wrote me back, something to the effect of “I’m going to sit in this space of just gratitude.” I was really struck by that. There aren’t many times where you actually sit in that good space of being excited about where you’ve come from and what you’ve accomplished. Because in Hollywood, in any career really, and in life, it’s always the next thing, and the next thing. Instead, recognize the hard work you have done, and give yourself a pat on the back for a minute. Then move on.
