I feel like a lot of actors, artists or musicians who come from famous fathers or mothers, all deal with the same thing. It’s something that you deal with. People eventually do start recognizing you for you and your good work. My first few jobs, people were like, “Oh, she only got hired because she’s so-and-so’s daughter.” But, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who your parents are. Sure, it does help you get into a room, but at the end of the day, you have to be able to deliver and you have to be talented because they’re not going to hire me because my dad is David Cassidy, who was famous in the 70’s. I have to go into those rooms and give it my best and work really hard. It’s not that I have to work extra hard, but sometimes it’s held against me because I feel like I have something to live up to. I just want to make my family proud, and I want to be known for me. I feel like I have to go the extra mile to do that, but I’m willing to do it and it’s fine. It’s nothing that I will complain about. It’s just another challenge that I will overcome.
