“People are literally like, – Oh, do you feel a lot of pressure when you’re coming back? Because you took some time off? And you know, before it was like, no. I mean, I’m excited that people want to see it, and it’ll come and then it’ll go like it always does. And now it just feels like. So many eyes are on it. And the anticipation, I hate anticipation. I hate hype. I try to under hype as much as possible,” she said.
“I’m excited that people feel like it’ll be their escape. And you know, with some people who I’ve talked to who have seen the first five have said, you know, it feels like I am with my friends again, or I have my old friends back. And that makes me feel really good. That people identify with the characters in that way. So, I’m happy and scared.”
Rae has carved out her own lane in Hollywood by being authentic.
“I found my lane by just being true to myself. Like it’s always been driven by a passion for what I like, what I want to see. What I feel like I could bring to the table. And I don’t like to feel like I’m in a crowded space by any means,” she said.
“If I’m going to keep taking these opportunities, I want to excel. And so in that way, it still feels novel, it still feels exciting and a little bit scary. And I, I joke that, and it’s not necessarily a joke, but I think about how I started. I started with a sense of confidence. Because it was just like, I’m creating this archetype, I’m creating these characters, and, producing for the internet and making something from scratch and forging a career for myself.”
