Hailee Steinfeld Covers The Digital Issue Of PEOPLE
Hailee Steinfeld is on the digital cover of PEOPLE. The actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Highlights from her interview are below.
On choosing roles: “I want to feel like I’m constantly being challenged and taken out of my comfort zone. I think it’s easy to feel like, ‘Okay, you’ve nailed something. I can totally do that again. I can do it five more times!’ But I want to do something that feels new and different and fulfilling in a way that I haven’t quite felt before.”
On the support from her family: “I would not be who I am or where I am if it weren’t for my mother and my father and my brother [Griffin, 29]. They have kept me in check every step of the way. I’m especially close with my brother, and we only get closer as we get older. I just feel very lucky to have not one but three people that I can call no matter where I am in the world and know that they’ll pick up and talk me through whatever I need them to at that moment. They have just made so many sacrifices for me to be where I’m at, and I am forever grateful.”
On the importance of self-care: “It could be anything from a walk around the block or a night without my phone. I think before I may have brushed that off more than I do now. I consciously am trying to check in with myself and make sure that I’m good because it is so easy to keep going and going and going until you burn out. And then you have a whole new set of problems. So I try to catch myself before I get there.”
