"I think it's important to be open-minded and to embrace new experiences. To always be willing to learn and grow"
About this Quote
Mia Maestro’s line reads like the kind of advice you’d hear between takes, but its power is in how it quietly reframes what “success” is supposed to look like in an industry built on typecasting and control. “Open-minded” isn’t just a personality trait here; it’s a survival strategy. For an actress, rigidity can be professional death: you get slotted into a single vibe, a single accent, a single “brand.” Maestro’s insistence on embracing “new experiences” pushes back against that flattening, implying that a career (and a self) has to stay porous to remain alive.
The repetition of “always” does a lot of work. It’s not a one-time burst of reinvention for a press cycle; it’s a discipline. The subtext is that growth is not automatic, and comfort is the enemy. There’s also an emotional pragmatism to it: “willing to learn” signals humility without self-erasure, an acknowledgment that talent alone doesn’t inoculate you against stagnation.
Context matters, too. Maestro’s career has moved across languages, genres, and public identities (from art-house projects to mainstream TV), and the quote sounds like a personal ethos designed to keep that movement possible. It’s not a manifesto; it’s a permission slip. In a culture that rewards certainty and hot takes, she’s pitching curiosity as an adult virtue - less glamorous than confidence, more durable than it.
