I’ve been rejected a lot during my career, says Lily Collins

• Lily Collins says that at the start of her career, she “was rejected a lot.”
• Lily hasn’t allowed any previous setbacks to discourage her.
• She said “Emily in Paris” is not only about romance but also “women in the job.”

The 33-year-old actress, who is the Jill Tavelman and Phil Collins’ second wife, claims she had to endure rejection in order to succeed in her field.

Lily shared: “I definitely got rejected a lot at the beginning. I got told ‘no’ over and over and over again. The feedback was that I was too green. I was like, I don’t know what that means.”

Despite this, Lily hasn’t allowed any previous setbacks to discourage her.

The brunette beauty told V magazine: “I think whatever creative outlet, whether it’s music, acting, or writing, if you want to be a lawyer, a dancer, if you feel strongly that it is just so much a part of who you are, deep down to the core, you know that, ultimately, you’re going to get there somehow.”

Meanwhile, Lily previously asserted that “Emily in Paris” is not only about romance but also “women in the job.”

The actress who portrays Emily Cooper in the popular Netflix series, Lily, thinks there’s more to the programme than what some viewers might think.

The actress – whose on-screen character is a marketing executive – explained: “Season one, I was asked [if Emily were] more of a workaholic or romantic, and I feel like that question just so much defines what we’re used to in the romantic comedy world.

“This show is so much about women in the workplace as much as it is about romance. And I think it’s really important to continue that storyline of feeling torn within your job and how much it means to you.”
