"I still feel like I have a lot of growing up to do 'til I find the voice. Everybody has their own voice and their own thing they want to say to the world"
About this Quote
The phrase “’til I find the voice” is doing double duty. It nods to performance in the literal sense (voice, role, presence), but it’s really about authorship - who gets to steer the narrative of a career. For many actresses, especially those who rise through ensemble TV, “voice” can be swallowed by characters, showrunners, publicity cycles, and the constant pressure to be agreeable. Her admission reads like a push against that flattening, an insistence that identity isn’t the same as marketability.
Then she widens the frame: “Everybody has their own voice.” That’s the democratic turn, but it’s not kumbaya. It’s a subtle permission slip aimed at anyone feeling behind, unfinished, or drowned out. In a culture obsessed with hot takes and instant personal “platform,” Alexander champions slower development: a voice isn’t a volume setting, it’s a point of view earned over time. The subtext is freeing and a little defiant: the world can wait until you have something real to say.
