Lucy Hale Says Her Career Hasn't Been as Easy as People Think

Lucy Hale is opening up about her path after the end of Pretty Little Liars.

The 30-year-old actress explained that her career has been a journey, and not as easy as it looked.

“It’s like three steps ahead, one step back. From the outside looking in, it looks like everything is going great, and you’ve had it so easy, but it’s been such a journey,” Lucy told InStyle.

She continued, “I’m constantly learning and constantly growing. I think learning to deal with rejection and negativity is sort of a tool in itself, and I don’t know if I’ll ever quite master it. But, you learn how to deal with it. You sort of create this barrier around yourself so you can just power through. I think with that mentality, you can do anything.”
