Read excerpts from the interview below:
On what she wants people to focus on the most concerning her career and her talent:
My acting. I’m an actress first, before everything else and not necessarily only a reality star. Prior to my time on BBN, I had acted for a number of years and had already begun my career. I will always be an actress…I will be one for the rest of my life.
On the pressure to achieve her goals and how she deals with not meeting up:
Definitely. I’ve learned to slow down to count my blessings. That’s something I try and spend more time doing. I also compare myself to myself. I look at where I am now versus where I was six months ago. The me of today is different from the me of last year. And knowing that I am not stagnant helps me manage the expectations I have put on myself.
On what other industry she wants to explore or become more involved in and why:
Beauty. Definitely. A lot of people want to look good and feel good and I think I am the expert on that.
