Before landing ‘Ozark,’ Julia Garner considered leaving acting altogether. “I’m going to be honest: I’m not good at a lot of things, so I was like, ‘This acting thing better work out.’”
In terms of your career, how far ahead are you strategizing? Are you always thinking, say, five years in advance?Ozark.
It wasn’t a great year for me as an actor. I felt a little hopeless. I wasn’t getting jobs for a few months. It was really hard. I remember thinking, If I’m still in the same place in five years, I don’t want to do this. It’s a really hard business and there are other businesses out there other than acting. I was still young at the time, but it’s tough because in the acting world, 21 is young, but it’s notyoung. You’re not 16 or 17 anymore.
When you told yourself that you’d quit acting and do something else if you were in the same place in five years, did you know what that “something else” would be? No. So I’m going to be honest: I’m not good at a lot of things, so I was like, “This acting thing better work out.” I’m somewhat decent at acting. And I just continued to have the stamina, worked really hard, and not have entitlement.Yeah. It is very hard because I am in a very public business. I try not to give too much of my personal opinion away, because I feel like that’s going to make my job harder. The whole point of my job is for people to relate to me and feel moved and escape.
