The things I love about this business the most, is that it is a challenge trying to prove to everyone – including yourself – that you can do something different than what people think you’re capable of. Katherine Waterston Read Quote
If you have a famous parent, you know that being famous doesn’t make you superior to anyone else. It just means people smile at you more.

I think there’s an assumption when you have a parent in the business that you’re given some kind of a cheat sheet at an early age.

Sometimes you meet people, and you somehow feel like you’ve known them your whole life. Katherine Waterston Read Quote
I think it’s a luxury when you love the thing you’re promoting, and then you don’t have to try to think of something, try and find some angle. Katherine Waterston Read Quote
I love that feeling. I guess I love escaping my life, really. I love going into another world and feeling for this amount of time that this is it, this is the world I’m going to live in. You feel it more during the rehearsal process. Katherine Waterston Read Quote
It’s just a dream of the struggling actor to just have a proper shot – not just in a film that people will see, but with a character that’s rich and complicated and that you can show you’re capable of taking on. Katherine Waterston Read Quote
