    This is so inspiring, because I always thought that you’d have to go to drama school or something to be a good actor but when I hear that she kinda ‘just started’ and I see where she is now, I see that she’s right and you learn by just doing it and failing and trying again. This gives me the hope that I could also maybe become an actress one day.
