"I think I can try the film world out for a while"
About this Quote
As an actress who rose to mainstream recognition in a franchise context, Loken’s phrasing reads like self-protection against the movie business’s favorite trap: the narrative that a performer is either “the next big thing” or yesterday’s casting. “Try” keeps the stakes low, which paradoxically signals confidence. If you can afford to treat film as something you “try out,” you’re implying you have options, you’re not begging for entry, you’re testing fit.
The subtext also points to an older tension in screen culture: film as prestige territory, TV and modeling as perceived stepping-stones, and the constant pressure for women especially to justify ambition without triggering the “too hungry” backlash. “The film world” sounds slightly anthropological, like a place you visit rather than a club you need permission to join. That distance matters. It lets her speak about career expansion while staying likable, flexible, and unthreatening.
It’s a sentence built for an interview, but it’s also a negotiation with an industry that loves to define actresses before they can define themselves.
