Brooke Shields on Reinventing Yourself, Making Friends in Your 40s, and More
"I get rejected more than I get accepted. I get said no to so many more times than I get said yes to," says Shields, referring to society's need for women to have it all"figured out" by a certain age."When I was younger, I looked too European or I never fit in sample sizes, therefore I couldn't do runway because I wasn't skinny enough.
She continues,"We are not represented because we don't fit into a box...There is this world where women over a certain age get discounted and overlooked, and these are the most fabulous women that I've ever met. They've all pivoted multiple times and they have so much more to offer. And that was where it started...I'm the conduit. I'm not the guru. I'm the ring leader, the connector. And I'm just the face that gets people to talk to each other.
It's a bit of an effort. Sometimes I say to my daughter, 'You'll have a little group of friends there, a little group of friends here. It's okay that you're not in the same little huddle.' You find different friends who nurture different parts of your personality, but you have to be willing to put yourself out there. It's that waiting to be picked thing. I don't want to wait anymore. My industry is based on that. I don't want to wait to be picked anymore.
