"I've always wanted to act since I was little"
About this Quote
The wording also collapses time. “Always” smooths out the messy middle years - the jobs, the rejections, the recalibrations - into a single continuous line of desire. That’s not naïveté; it’s brand management. Actors are expected to perform coherence offscreen, too, turning a volatile profession into a legible personal myth audiences can root for.
There’s subtext about legitimacy here. Ubach has built a career often defined by range, character work, and voice performances - lanes that don’t always get the glamour treatment. A statement like this subtly claims seriousness: acting isn’t a detour, it’s the original plan. It also invites a kind of emotional contract with the listener. If she’s wanted it since childhood, then every role reads as earned, every success as destiny catching up.
In a culture that loves talent but worships narrative, “since I was little” is the simplest origin story that still hits.
