everdeen: “I had planned to be a senator when I grew up. And I might still do that at one point. Whatever! And it [interning at the White House] was really unbelievably boring. And I sort of had a panic attack when I was there and I thought, “Oh my god, I can’t - I cannot do this for the rest of my life. I have to find something else to do.” And that’s basically when I started acting. So this is my fallback plan. This was my kind of emergency stop-gap measure until I found something meaningful to do and I’ve been sidetracked ever since. But, um, yeah, it was kind of a big deal for me because I was on this track: I was going to go to law school and be a contributing member of society and I’ve given all that up.“ [x] -- source link
