Thalia Heffernan: I think the greatest challenge is the loneliness of the job

I always say my job was a bit of a fluke. I definitely think in my career I’ve gotten lucky. I never thought in a million years that I'd have the confidence and the ability to do what I do. I do say I fell into it but maybe it is fate, maybe the stars are aligned somewhere.

The funny thing with my job is that I actually have no control of it. You just get booked for things and it’s like “oh I have a job now” and I’ve missed more castings than I’ve gotten them. It kind of took on a life of its own when I was really young and thankfully it never slowed down.
