If that's as far as she's willing to go, then we need to accommodate that. And a university needs to be able to accommodate it.
To make a change, you must be: willing to commit, willing to change, willing to have an open mind, and willing to take action!
If I love the story, and if I really connect with my character, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to try new characters, to be someone that I'm not like. I like trying new emotions and being new characters. That's the thing about acting: You can be so many things!
You really should not do this job unless you're willing to put in that enormous amount of effort. You should not do the job unless you're willing to take risks. And you shouldn't do the job unless you're willing to lose the job, too.
