When Teen Wolf came about, my agent asked me which character I wanted to go out for. Lydia was described as ‘just walking off the runways of Milan’ and Allison was the ‘quiet and vulnerable new girl’. I said, “Mark my words, they will never hire me as Lydia! I’m not a supermodel, I’m 5’3.
I never graduated. I never went to Northwestern. I never wrote for The New Yorker. I never won the Noble Peace Prize. I never changed the world. I never got out of Clover. These were just delusions that occupied my time. And thank god they did. Because a life without meaning, without drive, without focus, without goals, or dreams… isn’t a life worth living.
