But the most revealing part of the interview had to do with her plans of quitting acting, as she says she is thinking about leaving Los Angeles, and described it as “unhealthy.” “I grew up in quite a shallow place. Of all the places in the world, Hollywood is not a healthy place. So you seek authenticity,” she said to the publication. “I wouldn’t be an actress today. When I was starting out, it wasn’t as much of an expectation to be as public, to share so much.”
