I still can't come to terms with the fact that I am starring in a film that has such a stellar cast and my name is mentioned alongside theirs.l am glad I got a place for my long name (laughs).
These are the people I have grown up watching.
Working in the film industry was a dream for me, and that was my little secret.
kept it private because I never believed it enough for it to happen. And now that this is happening, I am very happy.
How do you deal with criticism of your work?
Even when someone says something bad about me, I am like, 'Hey, it's there! My first negative comment is there! This is so funny and I shouldn't be saying this, but let me tell you anyway.
My mom has a folder where she has cut and pasted anything and everything that has been written about me, whether it's a troll
comment or a compliment. If my name is there, it has to be there in her folder.
Why? Because we all dreamed of films together and we are still having to come to terms with the fact that it has happened.
Because there are so many people who dream of being an actor, but they never get that chance.
I know that I am not extra talented.
nor am I very beautiful or the fittest of all.
Whatever it is, I got the opportunity and I am very grateful.
