Continue below to read some excepts from her interview.
On her career goals as a young actress: “Before I even started in this industry, I was just like, ‘Oh man, if I could make it to be that white girl’s best friend. If I could get there…’ That’s where it started for me…to me that was a tremendous achievement. I never expected to lead a film. I didn’t see enough of it to think it was possible.”
On wanting to have a purpose: “I do try to amplify. That’s the small part that I try to do – to get involved in whatever way I can and, at the very least, amplify.”
On her HTGAWM cast: When I met the HTGAWM cast we all hit it off immediately. Over the years we’ve really grown as a family, and Aja has been integral to that growth. She remembers everyone’s birthdays, plans all of our cast outings, and is generally our number one cheerleader on set.
