“I think that is a really good message, especially for young girls to hear. The fact that someone like me from the western suburbs of Sydney could become an actress in movies who didn't look like a regular actress, and that I can make it I think gives a lot of hope to other girls who are really creative and don't necessarily follow the standard of what some people consider beauty to be.” PeopleThinkingGivingLooksI CanFactsYoungGirlCreativeMessagesStandardsWesternActressesLike MeSuburbsSydneyOther Girl Author:Rebel Wilson
“When I first came to America, I went into William Morris Endeavor for a meeting and I was like, "Yeah, I'm from Australia and I do comedy." I think that one of the reasons they signed me is because I wasn't like any other girl. Maybe girls don't get encouraged. The ones who get encouraged to move to Hollywood are the prettiest ones in their hometown of Iowa, or something. Whereas for me, where I come from in the western suburbs of Sydney, no one ever thought professional actors would come from there. Even my own family was like, "No one would want you on a show."” ThinkingWantFirstsReasonShowsAmericaMovingGirlActorsMy OwnComedyHollywoodYeahMeetingsWesternAustraliaEndeavorSuburbsHometownSydneyIowaOther GirlPrettiestMorris Author:Rebel Wilson
