OlderDebby Ryan Hosts Reddit AMA On Her 22nd Birthday
It’s Debby Ryan‘s 22nd birthday!
The former Jessie actress just returned from a vacation in Mexico and shared some pics on Tumblr before hosting a reddit AMA session with her fans.
During the chat, Debby opened up about her birthday plans, The Suite Life on Deck memories and more. Check it:
On how she stays grounded: “this year has been incredibly trying for me. I messed up. a lot. but I think, for me anyway, it’s been about keeping your darkness, your confusion, your trials out of your realm of influence. pointing toward the light, even when all I see is shadowed.”
On what she remembers the most from The Suite Life on Deck: “Cole used to drop things at me from the rafters so I’d have to say my favorite memory was learning how to conduct an interview with international press outlets whilst dodging paper cups.”
On the books she loves: “looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska looking for alaska + the 48 Laws of Power + Franny and Zooey by Salinger + Weetzie Bat + The Weight Of Glory by CS Lewis but also looking for alaska.”
On her advice for stepping into the industry: “The entire industry has zero formula, so this one’s hard. I’ll tell you this: I’ve found that most things that succeed here start with a distinct voice with a fresh take on a relevant thing. Look at what you like to watch, listen to how you translate them, and don’t be afraid to do something that hasn’t been done. On a practical level, learn. Study everyone’s job, and try your hand at it. Acting taught me how I love producing, and producing taught me how I love to direct.”
On the vacations she’s planning to take: “I just ran away to Mexico, and before that went to New York City to help my brother propose, right after getting back from Australia.. so I keep my suitcase packed… Next up– ideally Moscow, Dubai, New Zealand, and I want to do the CS Lewis tour of Oxford.”
On her Starbucks order: “iced americano with 2 pumps raspberry or almond.”
