Mandy Moore

That's my proudest accomplishment: I've been able to be myself throughout the ebb and flow of a personal and professional career in the public eye — that I'm still around and I'm just me.

Being defined as kind is a lovely thing, but where it gets problematic is when it can permeate into the professional side of things.

People are often like 'oh, she's so sweet, I would never think of her for this particular type of role because she's really nice,' and being confined to that singular identity can feel troublesome.

Does that mean I can't have a bad day? Or be in a bad mood because I didn't sleep well? Or for whatever reason, you can't be human and must be infallible. If that's the only way the world is seeing you, there is a big pressure.

You would be talking to a completely different person of who I was when I was 25.

I had the same sort of values and I tried to move through the world in the same way, but I don't think I was a good advocate for myself. I don't think I had good boundaries. I think I was much more concerned with saying yes and being perceived as a kind person who could contort themselves to fit into certain spaces.
