"I just feel passionately about a few things and particularly about helping artists get off the ground"
About this Quote
The phrase “helping artists get off the ground” is doing double duty. On the surface it’s mentorship and advocacy, a senior figure boosting newcomers. Underneath, it’s a quiet indictment of how hard lift-off is. “Off the ground” implies gravity: structural forces that keep emerging artists stuck at zero altitude - money, access, gatekeepers, time. She isn’t talking about polishing a performance; she’s talking about the conditions that allow a creative life to start.
Coming from an actress - someone often treated as a face rather than a builder - the intent lands as a bid for agency. Badler positions herself less as product and more as infrastructure, someone who can convert experience, contacts, and credibility into a runway for others. It’s also self-awareness: careers like hers are made in ecosystems, not solo acts, and paying that forward is both ethical and, frankly, a way to keep the ecosystem alive.
