"I've been able to work with so many people, so I love asking advice from as many as possible"
About this Quote
The subtext is about navigating an industry where young actresses are routinely boxed into two narratives: either the ingénue who needs saving, or the “boss” who’s punished for ambition. Sweeney’s phrasing dodges both. Asking “as many as possible” makes her sound industrious and collaborative, not calculating, while still signaling that she’s collecting intel. Advice becomes a tool for longevity, not a confession of uncertainty.
Context matters because Sweeney’s fame has come with relentless scrutiny: her looks, her roles, her “seriousness,” her business moves. In that climate, positioning herself as a sponge for wisdom is reputational armor. It suggests she’s process-driven, not hype-driven, and it implicitly credits others, which plays well in a town allergic to anyone seeming “too big.”
The intent, then, isn’t just to seem nice. It’s to normalize ambition as work ethic: learn widely, listen publicly, build privately.
