Full Circle Quotes

“After the community theater years, I got my first big TV break at age five with a commercial for Velveeta cheese, charming people across America with my messy pigtails and toothless smile. I don't remember much from that job, just a lot of very bright lights. I don't even remember if I ate the cheese to be honest. I was a cute kid with a big personality, but looking back at the VHS (!) tapes, I can see just how precocious I was. I also see it in my daughter which both delights and terrifies me.”

“You don't ever really see that person binge-eating cake, stewing over a nasty comment (or ten) someone left on their Instagram page, fighting with her boyfriend or crying herself to sleep.

Just because you don't see those moments of struggle doesn't mean they don't happen.”

“The interesting thing about acting, though, is that it always seems to counteract those anxious feelings that I struggle with so much. I love the thrill of getting into character. I love making people laugh. The camera turns on and my muscle memory takes over. The stress melts away when the director yells "Action!" and for a few minutes, I get to be someone else.”

“Sometimes you don’t need an answer, you just need to feel heard. Sometimes you just need to know someone sees you. Sometimes you just need someone to acknowledge that your pain exists.”
