Margaret Qualley thinks there’s “beauty” in “coming to terms with where you are”.
The 31-year-old actress stars in Love of Your Life, the new romantic drama movie directed by Rachel Morrison, and Margaret has reflected on the challenge of finding happiness.
The Hollywood star – who was previously married to music producer Jack Antonoff – told E! News: “There’s this beautiful line towards the end of the movie that Catherine Keener’s character says, which is about falling in love with your own life.
“I think the nature of suffering is wanting something and not having it and being able to accept what you do have.
“Sometimes that’s really easy, and sometimes that’s really, really hard. But getting better at letting go and falling, and coming to terms with where you are, and finding the beauty in that, and the love in that.”
Margaret committed to the movie after being drawn to the “complicated” life experiences of her on-screen character, Maya.
The actress said: “I loved Julia Cox’s script.
“I loved how complicated and messy Maya’s journey through love and loss and accepting her life was.”
Meanwhile, Margaret previously admitted to feeling “overwhelmed” when she began her acting career.
The movie star is the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell – but Margaret initially felt uncomfortable in the entertainment industry.
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, she shared: “I started working so young, and when I first started acting, I was just overwhelmed.
“I felt like if I was fully myself, women would hate me and men would hurt me. And so that took away some of the tools that come with being a woman because I was scared.”
Margaret has enjoyed significant success in recent years, starring in movies such as The Substance and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. And the brunette beauty claimed that she feels more confident than ever before.
Margaret – who finalised her divorce from Jack earlier this year – said: “Gradually, now that I feel like I have more control of my life, I can kind of lean more into the sensual and the feminine.”
