-Ferrera on why she thought that way. Ferrera"I was thinking 'She doesn't deserve that. What is she really doing in that role? That role is not interesting enough, it's not dark enough, it's not edgy enough' You know all that bullsxxt.Which doesn't enter your mind on it's own. There were people in my life perpetuating those narratives and making me feel like I hadn't earned this moment. When I look back at that time, my heart aches for that 22 year old girl who didn't get to really enjoy those moments."
-Ferrera says she now knows her value and doesn't look for anyone else to validate her.
