Shailene Woodley Covers The Newest Issue Of The Edit

Shailene Woodley is on the cover of the new issue of The Edit Shailene is on the cover to promote her new film Adrift. Highlights from the interview are below.

On acting: “I have the best job in the world. I could cry talking about it. And it’s fleeting, I remind myself of that every day. What I do can be taken away at any moment.”

On her struggle to find a healthy balance in Hollywood: “The idea of magazines, press lines, red carpets and fashion, all of that was so overwhelming that I stayed away from it all. I can’t half-ass anything, so when it came to me having to look a certain way or speak a certain way for this image I was meant to create, it turned me off. When I wasn’t filming I would work on a farm somewhere because that’s what I could hold onto that felt real.”

On working with the female cast on Big Little Lies: “I don’t know that I’ve ever worked with a group of women [before] where competition didn’t get in the way of sisterhood. Every single person was championing the other members. Like at the Met Ball – everybody had invites, but only a couple of people could go because some people had to continue filming, so Nicole and Zoë went and [the rest of us] stayed back and filmed.”
