Jenna Ortega shares where she wants her career to go after 10 years of ‘putting the puzzle pieces together in my head’
Jenna Ortega Shares Her Future Goals Beyond Actin in Hollywood. Jenna Ortega sat down for a candid chat and got honest about where she wants her career to go after 10 years of “putting the puzzle pieces together in my head.”
The actor sat down for V Magazine on Wednesday, and the conversation immediately kicked off when she said it was something she’s been rolling around in her head for about 10 years.
“I have a script that I’ve known I’ve been making for about 10 years,” according to the Scream star.
But “it’s weird because it’s something I’ve thought about since I was little and when I first started in this field, and it’s only now that I’m really starting to take steps to make it happen, which is really exciting.”
However, she made it clear that for now “I’m just putting the puzzle pieces together in my head.”
So, “I think I need a few years of that to understand the order of doing things.”
Also, “This one in particular, I see myself in it, but I really want to direct. That’s probably the most important thing I want to do. I see it for myself. I just feel like my mind wants to work and think, and that’s how I see my acting sometimes.”
Before concluding, she also offered fans a glimpse into what the future might look like when she steps into order roles, saying, “I don’t want to dwell on the things I create in the future, but starting out, because I’ve made more of a name for myself as an actor, I can use that as a stepping stone.”
For those who haven’t yet landed a directing role for the star, she served as an executive producer on the horror comedy Death of a Unicorn, and is soon to drop another season of the hit show Wednesday.
