« It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing. »

« Like most people, I’ve been the girl who walks down a hallway and isn’t aware how I look and how other people perceive me. »

So why would you keep around someone who you have to always help out but get nothing in return?

“My whole life, there have been people expecting me to be a certain way because of how I look. They expect certain things of me, expect me to be of a certain intelligence. I`m constantly walking a tightrope between the kind of roles I want to play and the kind of roles I`m expected to play.”
