Lindsay Lohan
During the height of her personal troubles, Lindsay considered leaving acting behind: “There was a point when it got really lonely. I was being hounded a lot. I didn’t know what do… I didn’t want to listen to anyone. I was very stubborn… (I asked myself) ‘Do I do this or do I take the easy way out and just stop?’ But I love acting… It’s unfortunate that people began to know me as a celebrity rather than as an actress. I can hope to gain that respect back only through my work.”
Shailene Woodley
Shailene felt so much pressure to perform that she thought about quitting: “Somebody came to me and said, ‘I can’t wait to see what you do next.’ I took that as pressure – that I had to live up to somebody else’s expectations. There were a few months where I was like, ‘I don’t want to act anymore.’ And then I got over it and realised it’s none of my business what other people think of me.”
