Sophie Nélisse

"In every bad situation, there is good and also, you don’t have to be rich to be happy. You have to try to make good things with what you have."

"Being authentic is something that has always helped me. For instance, when I am interviewing or auditioning, I don’t try to act a certain way to please the other person. Of course, I have a positive energy and I’m an extrovert, which are traits that are important to succeed in my job. If I had to give one piece of advice, I would say: don’t give up. There are times that feel more difficult, but you should never throw the towel in and listen to those who say you should do something else. In my industry, it’s about timing and chance circumstances. When I’m not selected for a part, it feels like a blow on the spot, but I believe everything happens for a reason."
