The love of a parent, that connection, it's eternal.

I try to put my own history in my work.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."

I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after.

I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.

If it's not happening, write your own thing!

I certainly struggled when I was little and didn't have an easy time, so I try to put that stuff in my work.
