I remember when I first wanted to act my parents were supportive, but it was that they were like please, if you can find something else in the world, don't do this. So it wasn't even they're like 'Oh we've been waiting for you to arrive, welcome to the family business' kind of thing.

You can't ask someone else to take on that story - or you can, but you have to deal with whatever the fallout is. If the story doesn't end up being told the way you originally heard it or that you feel it needs to be expressed, that's on you.

Whenever I get down, when I want to crawl under a rock, I just look around at them and I see how rich my life is. You have to remember whatโs most important in life. I am loved by so many people and have a wonderful job. I know Iโm incredibly blessed. I am a completely lucky human being.
Troian BellisarioIn high school I was a nerd and very acadยญemic. On the weekends, instead of going out and partying, Iโd close myself in my room and read Shakespeare. I hid from boys. I didnโt know what a boyfriend was, although I think I wanted one.
Troian BellisarioI truly believe that everything happens for a reason. So you asked, โWhen things get really, really difficult in your life, what keeps you going?โ For me, itโs always that the most difficult moments in my life, the moments in which I believe Iโve completely failed or hit bottom, I can actually directly link them to something later that is either a true success or a dream come true. So, I do believe that if you can maintain that everything happens for a reason, you can find the strength and the lesson in those difficult moments and grow stronger.
