Kiernan Shipka Chats Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina With Byrdie Beauty

Kiernan Shipka sat down with Byrdie Beauty while in New York City earlier this month. The young actress chatted with the outlet while out promoting her new series, Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. Highlights from the interview are below.

On taking time after Mad Men to find herself: “Right when Mad Men wrapped, I was sort of figuring out my life and I got a lot of time—from 15 to 18, when I started working on Sabrina—just to sort myself out, learn to practice self-love and self-compassion, and make a lot of mistakes.”

On whether she is nervous about her life changing after Sabrina is released: “I wouldn’t say I’m nervous. I’m just going day by day, which is how I try to live my life, in general. It hasn’t really registered that that’s a thing that’s going to happen. Especially since I’m working five days a week, 14 hours a day, I haven’t had any time to think about it, or I just haven’t let those thoughts in. I just don’t want to have expectations, you know? But as far as it being a crazy, life-changing experience, I’d say I’m ready. I’ve been doing this since I was 5 or 6 years old. I’ve kind of grown up in it, but not in a way where I ever felt inundated. I feel very armed and ready for whatever comes because [fame] has just been this slightly normal thing in my life. So it doesn’t feel like it’s going to be some kind of crazy shock or like going from one extreme to the other.”
