For this reason, Metz says she absolutely loves playing Kate on the show.
So then was I like, ‘Oh, this is something different.
It’s not just a television show.'"
Metz also says she loves that Kate is an “every woman” that fans seem to appreciate.
“She’s the people’s people.
I think everybody can see themselves in that role in some way or another,” she explained.
She’s a real woman who’s really struggling and trying to figure it all out and find herself.
And she happens to be attractive.
And she happens to find somebody she loves.
And she gets to have a full and wonderful life."
While the character may help viewers, Metz says she’s also learned a lot from the role.
“It’s not about having to be fill-in-the-blank of whomever you aspire to be.
I don’t have to compare myself to anybody else.”
Part of Metz’s new outlook on vulnerability was releasing her own music.
“I have been writing songs for the past two and a half years.
About everything I’ve experienced in the last 15 years pursuing my dreams, moving across the country.
I write from a place of authenticity.
And then it becomes a therapy session,” Metz confessed.
“I have always lived my life for everybody else, in the shadows of everybody else.
