“Now, when I go on set, I’m a lot more confident of the choices I’m making,” Ashley recently shared about seeking out roles. “I have a lot more fun helping develop my character. I don’t have any more worries about delving into the work and meeting with directors or co-stars and saying, ‘Hey, this is what I came up with. What do you think?’”

Ash added, “It feels more like an artistic process to me than it did before. I think before there was just a lot of paranoia and caution and fear.”
