"I'm going to tell stories to the world. I think there's time for me to grow. We'll see"
About this Quote
Then she undercuts the grandness with a reality check: “I think there’s time for me to grow.” That’s craft-talk disguised as humility. In a business that pressures women to peak early and stay frozen there, “time” becomes a small act of resistance. It suggests a long game, a career not measured solely by youth, heat, or hype but by accumulation: skill, taste, agency. It also reads as an acknowledgment that storytelling isn’t merely talent; it’s lived experience, failure, and revision.
The final tag, “We’ll see,” is the most revealing. It’s not doubt so much as protective ambiguity - a way to speak ambition without inviting the industry’s favorite punishment for ambition: backlash. It keeps the statement human, unfinished, and therefore credible. The subtext is negotiation: between confidence and caution, between the desire to control a narrative and the knowledge that Hollywood, audiences, and luck still get a vote.
