“It was almost like she just did it earlier than everyone else.”

“It was daunting, honestly,“she told EW last year.

“I was worried that I couldn’t act anymore.

I mean, I took four years off.

I had to remind myself of what I could do and to ensure that I could still do it.

But I knew I made the right decision.

I was hoping to find the same thing here, and I very definitely did.”
