"I feel like I have peaked and maybe it's all downhill from here," she said. "Maybe I'm at the top and it can’t get any better. I hope that's not the case because I still feel like I have a lot to give and there's still a lot of directors I want to work with. And, you know, I'm just going to keep climbing as long as I can."
