“There’s so much more to me. I don’t want to box myself in.”

That moment cut right to my heart—because I get it. I feel that too. Every single day.

Even with a steady career, even after years of working consistently, I still feel like my full acting potential hasn’t been reached. Not even close. That aching feeling of there’s more never really goes away.

In the end, it’s her tape, her career, and her choice. I will absolutely support whatever scene she decides to shoot. But our conversation left me reflecting on something important:

There is no one-size-fits-all path in this business.
You can’t base your career on what others have done. You can’t wait for permission or mimic someone else’s roadmap. You have to find your own way—and commit to it fully, with everything you’ve got.
