"I've always thought of myself as more of a character actress. I've tried to do different things, but I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it. I've been really blessed to work this long and I just hope I continue to get better and better and better and better"
About this Quote
"I've always been under the radar and that's how I like it" reads as both preference and protective armor. Under-the-radar isn’t just privacy; it’s leverage. It suggests a career built on being dependable, surprising, and hireable across genres without becoming overexposed or over-memed. It’s the kind of positioning that appeals to directors and audiences tired of the same faces selling the same vibe.
Then she pivots to gratitude - "really blessed" - the standard Hollywood humility cue, but it lands because it’s tethered to longevity. For working actors, time is the real jackpot. The final run of "better and better and better and better" is the tell: beneath the calm self-effacement is restless drive. She’s not chasing relevance; she’s chasing improvement, which is a subtler, sturdier kind of ambition - one that implies she plans to outlast the cycle, not win it.
