Daily Inspiration Quote by Lexa Doig

A single breath splits in two: ambition on the inhale, self-protection on the exhale. "I do see myself going to LA" is the classic actor’s future tense, a nod to the industry’s gravitational center and a way of admitting, without begging, that bigger stages are imaginable. Then comes the brake light: "Not anytime soon". Four words that do a lot of reputational work. They soften any whiff of desperation, signal agency, and preempt the Hollywood script where everyone is either clawing to get in or boasting that they’ve arrived.

In subtext, Doig is negotiating two audiences at once. To gatekeepers, it reads as: I’m open, I’m professional, I’m not naive about the pipeline. To fans and the local industry, it reassures: I’m not abandoning the work and community that got me here; I’m not chasing a mirage. For an actress whose career has been built largely within Canadian and genre-TV ecosystems, LA is both a symbol and a logistical reality - a place that can expand opportunities while also flattening identity into casting types and "marketability."

The phrasing matters: "do see myself" isn’t a plan, it’s a self-image. That distance is strategic. It lets her acknowledge Hollywood’s pull without letting Hollywood define her timeline. In an era when careers are pieced together across cities, networks, and franchises, the line lands as a modern kind of confidence: mobility as option, not obligation.
