Quotes by Kristin Bauer van Straten
My personal style is really comfy: flats, tennis shoes, ponytails, no makeup.
To hear that you’re doing something that other people are enjoying, it’s a fun game. It’s like hitting a tennis ball over the net, and somebody hits it back. That’s what it feels like with the fans. It feels like someone else is participating in my creation, and it’s quite incredible.
What I would hope to do is painting, because I don’t think I’m qualified for anything else. My last job would be babysitting, so I don’t think Starbucks would even hire me.
People can do all kinds of things that maybe aren’t wise in hindsight because of jealousy.
I’m getting the jobs that are a gift, and also the jobs that I do because I just love them. That’s ideal, for anybody. I get to enjoy the day that I go to work. I actually enjoy every minute of the day.
One of my main techniques for acting is I try to know almost nothing beyond the words that I have to say, because that’s my zone of control.
I have to remember to not criticize other networks for other shows when I’m doing interviews because some day I’m going to be going to them, looking for a job, I’m assuming.
I will never be ok with the suffering of others – that I will likely continue to fight so I must treat it as a marathon race not a sprint.
I was a maid, so cleaning toilets wasn’t my favorite thing, but honestly, standing outside all day in the cold was worse.
