My mom played tennis for, like, six hours a day and went to college on a tennis scholarship, because that was the way she could go to school. So they instilled in me the idea that you have to work hard for the things you want in life and never complain.
It’s what I love about what I do and the life that I’m able to have and be able to just be so normal one day and be here the next…I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do.
I’m always able to find light moments on any set, no matter what. Just because a scene is heavy doesn’t mean that you have to be heavy, all day long. I was working with people who had a sense of humor and wanted to have those light moments with me.
I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.
The world is made up of the big things and the small ones. And the part that’s so unfair is that we call them ‘big’ and ‘small’ because when something happens to you.
