I have two pieces of advice that have been really helpful. The first is “your no’s shape your career as much as your yes’s”. The second is “never resist a generous impulse”, which basically means if a generous thought comes across your mind, act on it. It might mean giving to someone less fortunate or helping someone out who needs it because in the end, generosity will always serve you well.

I did do singing and dancing. I think if you’re lucky you get to learn all the steps and do all the fight stuff. I think not many girls necessarily get to do these roles. And I love it. I loved stunts. I love falling. I did some in Dark Shadows, and I was on set for a long time, so we did stunt training in between, and I loved it. Any of that kind of stuff, that adrenaline rush of it all. I think that’s a bonus.
