"If I am not right for something there are many talented actors out there that will get it"
About this Quote
The intent reads like damage control against an industry that personalizes “no” while pretending it’s purely “creative.” Voice acting in particular runs on churn - pilots that die, roles recast midstream, characters redesigned, studios chasing a different tone because a marketing note landed at 11 p.m. Strong’s phrasing demystifies that churn. “Right for something” isn’t a referendum on talent; it’s code for age, timbre, brand fit, even the politics of who’s already attached.
The subtext is professional toughness. By pointing to “many talented actors,” she’s acknowledging the depth of the bench while subtly asserting she’s already in the conversation. It’s collegial, but it also keeps envy from sticking to her. You can hear the veteran in it: someone who’s booked iconic roles and still knows nothing is guaranteed.
Contextually, it’s a line that plays well in a post-#MeToo, post-social-media ecosystem where entitlement gets punished and gratitude can look performative. Strong lands in a third lane: realism. Not “I deserve it,” not “I’m lucky to be here,” but “the work is bigger than any one person, including me.” That’s how you stay sane - and employable.
