Amy Huberman has spoken out about not feeling good enough as an actress.
The talented star revealed that she ‘doubted herself’ when she struggled to get hired.
“There was never a time I wanted to quit acting, but there have been times when I doubted myself,” she explained.
“There were times when I just couldn’t get hired, and I have two young kids, I have a family, and there were times when they were just born that you kind of go through an identity rechange and reshift.”
The Striking Out star also explained that this struggle comes with the job.
“It came along when I was going for stuff and not getting it. It happens to every actor, the tide goes out, the tide comes in. But when it goes out, it’s tricky. You do doubt yourself”, she told the Tribune News Service.
The star always liked the idea of becoming an actress but didn’t think it was feasible in Ireland.
“I loved acting as a kid and always would’ve loved to have done it as a job but I didn’t think it was a viable option.
“I didn’t think it was something you could just DO”.
Amy also spoke about her relationship with Brian O’Driscoll and how they find a balance between personal and professional life.
“We come from very different worlds but both worlds – it’s an unusual job, I guess”, she said.
“And we both understand the sacrifices you make to make something work — workwise, and that you put yourself out there for success and failure in equal measure”.
