Katie Holmes has maintained her independence and originality in Hollywood, refusing to allow the industry dominate her decisions, whether they be about film ventures or personal style.
In a recent interview with Town & Country, the actress discussed her 20-year career, including how she has adjusted to the increasing scrutiny of her wardrobe choices in the age of social media.
"Fashion is really big, and it didn't used to be," the Dawson's Creek alum explained.
"As an actor, you weren't constantly photographed on the street. It's different now, which is flattering, but it doesn't affect how I live or dress. I'm determined about living a life and not allowing this profession to influence things as simple as what I dress or as complex as my job. You don't want to be terrified of anything, correct?"
The same is true for the acting roles that Holmes picks. In contrast to early in her career, she is now able to choose projects that she is actually enthusiastic about and be more careful about which ones she participates in.
"Do I have 20 prescriptions at my door, all with the green light? No. Would this make life easier? Yes. Is that an unrealistic expectation? "Yes," the Coda star said.
"Everyone must pick an engaging tale, try to put it together, and create poetry out of it. The projects I work on need a lot of thinking, but at the end of the day, you want to produce something that people will respond to. "You're always at the mercy of someone."
Holmes has grown tremendously since her initial appearance on Dawson's Creek, expanding her portfolio to encompass producing, directing, and design ventures like her work with A.P.C. She has also established Lafayette Pictures, her own production business, demonstrating her progress and adaptability in the field.
