“I just thought acting would be something to help out with my student loans, but my first year as an actress, I made more money than my parents. That's when I realized it could turn into a career. After that, I put everything I had into it.”

“In my career, there have been roles I haven't taken because someone involved with the project gave me a bad vibe. I don't care how much money is on the table: No job is worth feeling uneasy every day.”

“I'm not going to change the world overnight. It's one person at a time, and hopefully they're people in positions of power who can help people get in those roles and really, truly embrace colorblind casting.”

“If there were no government-guaranteed student loans, college tuition would be much lower.”

“I was lucky to have a successful career as a model, but that was just a way to pay off my college loans.”

“I owe a lot to my loans at Heerenveen, where I grew as a person, and Vitesse, where I grew as a player.”
