hey there ! i'm sophie bryan , secretary at FEARLESS studios. we're just gonna do a small interview to get to know you, mmkay ?
'wouldn't expect anything less'
okay , so , please state your name before we start anything .
'Ava Grace Holland.'
wow , that's a really interesting name. does it mean anything ?
'Honestly, it doesn't mean a whole lot. Well to ma anyways. Ava has no real meaning, but it was my great grandmothers name so it was important to my mother to have me named after her. Then Grace, i've been told, means good will, which doesn't mean anything to me, and it doesn't exactly describe me too well. but then again it was my grandmother's name so i guess it means something to my parents. over all i have my name, but i guess i have to deal with it.'
hmm , awesome . are there other names that you preferred to be called by ?
'everyone just calls me ava..'
okay then, Ava. before we start , i just want you to know that everything here is confidential , so don't be afraid to share things with me. now, describe yourself for me.
'to be completely honest i can be a bit of a bitch, but only when people completely deserve it. i don't go out of my way to be insanely mean to someone, especially if they're nice to me. i'm a fair person, and i try to be as genuine as i can. but over all i'm supremely stubborn, and some times if i don't get my way i can hold it over people, but i am working on that. i've been spoiled for pretty much my entire life so i mean getting what i want is in my nature.. which sucks for some, but if you can keep me happy, i'll always be happy. haha. and finally i'm fairly independent. my parents weren't around all that much when i was growing up so i had to fend for myself, and i learned very quickly how to take care of myself.. but when my parents did come around they tried to buy my love, which worked when i was younger, but it got old when i grew up. but it made me exactly who i am today.'
is there anything about your personality that you don't like ?
'as i said sometimes i'm too bithcy or too stubborn, and i hate that. but there's no way i can change who i am.. besides i don't think i'd want to. i really love myself as a person, even with all my flaws. and i guess i could work on it, but i feel as though people should love me for me faults and all.'
you don't sound that bad , haha . now, do you mind telling me things about your past ? i'm curious .
'well.. i was born and raised in Manhattan, and I absolutely adore it there! but i moved to LA after my mother died when i was sixteen, and i guess it's okay, but i'll always be a new york girl. i have four older brothers, and an older sister, so i was definitely the youngest in a large family. i was seen as an ugly duckling throughout my schooling, and i was always teased for it, but i don't blame them... i was pretty unfortunate looking. in high school i grew into my looks and ta-da this ugly duckling turned into a swan. when i was sixteen my mom died, and even though my parents were never home it hit me hard, and i had to leave new york, no matter how much i loved it, i couldn't stand being there. I moved to LA and within two weeks of living there with my older brother i got my first modeling gig and everything just kind of escalated from there. i still live with my brother, and i'm definitely more famous now than i was when i first moved here, which is good because i'm so smitten by the lime light.'
wow , interesting . now , who makes up your family ?
'Lillian and Damian Holland are my parents, who were wealthy, socialites that didn't do too much with their lives. My mom was a model, and my dad was a CEO of his dad's company.. but he did absolutely no work what-so-ever. My siblings on the other hand are like my life. There's Jayne Marie who's thirty and works for my dads company, working on important things, unlike my father. James Timothy, who's also thirty and he's a doctor, he's married and had one child, and one on the way. Michael Lucas who's twenty-seven and he's a lawyer at some big law firm in new york, he has three kids, but has never been married, the kids all have the same mother though, she just recently died in a tragic car accident. Jonathan Eric who's twenty-five and is a junior exec. for some huge corporation, he's engaged and i hate his girlfriend. And finally there's Nathaniel Jacob who's twenty-one, and he's the brother i live with. He's a senior at Cal. State and he's probably my favorite sibling to hang out with. Then there's my tea-cup poodle Luxe who's four years old, and has got to be the love of my life and she's just as much part of my family as anyone else is.'
nice family you got . now , how did you get into the hollywood business ?
'well two years ago when I moved to LA and within two weeks i had been spotted by a modeling agency. i was walking down the street when Rosie approached me and i couldn't say no. i was excited, but it wasn't even as though i was looking to be famous or anything. i was with that agent for a little bit, but they wanted to hold me back, so i left and i've gone through a couple agencies over the past year, and over that time period i've done a couple movies, and i've been in a couple fashion shows and fashion photo shoots. now that i've been in the business i know that i totally love it, and it was what i was meant to do.'
you must love your job , right ? i would love to do what you do . what interests you the most about it though?
'i love being able to go to work and get under the skin of the character i'm playing, if i'm acting. or i love being able to dress up and pretend to be something i'm not, when i'm modeling. i see it as an escape from the out side world, and it kind of puts my into my out little world, which i love. plus making the fans happy is a total bonus!'
but it can't be that easy . there must be a few things that you hate about being famous ?
'being noticed when i'm out. i hate being swarmed by crowds, and i hate when guys ask me out because they've seen me in a movie or in a magazine. it also drives me crazy when people think that they know me. just because you've read an interview about me doesn't mean you know me. it's just a little frustrating sometimes.'
interesting . do you look up to anyone for advice or anything ?
'yes, my older siblings, but especially Nate. He gives really good, honest useful advice, and i love him for it. I also have a couple very close friends who have helped me make some important decisions. i'd like to say i know all the answers, and that i know exactly what to do in every situation, but i don't. i know it's disappointing. aha'
aw , that's nice. now, list some things you enjoy doing on your spare time, if you have any .
'i love shopping, hanging out with my friends, watching movies, cooking, partying. pretty much anything that any other teenage girl likes.'
there must be some things that you hate as well , right?
'i really don't like reading.. i know that's a bad thing, but i just cant see to get into a book.. yikes! i also really don't like cleaning, grocery shopping or doing paper work. it's all very dull and too time consuming!'
awkward question coming up , heh . how's your sex life ?
'it's going alright i suppose, although being in the business i have to be more selective of the guys i date, or hook up with. I don't want to be played, so i have to be extra careful. I actually just recently broke up with my long time boy friend who i started dating when we were like fifteen... we both knew it was over so it wasn't as hard to let go as i thought it would be. we're still great friends so that's a good thing!'
so you're not a virgin?
'unfortunately not. i would love to have my virginity back, but that train left the station a long time ago.'
now, are you in a relationship with anyone?
'not at the moment. as i said before i broke up with my long time bf a couple months ago, and it's kind of hard getting back into the dating game after being in a monogamous relationship for three years. '
that's basically our interview, thanks Ava. but before you leave, is there anything else we should know?
'i have an eating disorder, it developed just over a year ago, but i've been getting help, and things are a lot better than they were. i'm really trying to work on it.'
oh wow , that's one for the books. just kidding Ava . we won't tell, promise. thanks for sitting down with us, and have fun working on your latest project !
'thanks! it was great to be here. and to meet you. hopefully i get to see you in the future!'

Astrid walked out of her shower and wrapped a towel around her thin framed body. She was going to head out for a walk along the beach. The beach wasn't exactly gorgeous, and the weather was kind of crappy but Astrid felt as though she needed to get out and just go for a walk. Astrid didn't necessarily believe in exercise or fresh air, but she figured that going for an actual walk once in a while wasn't going to kill her. Plus it gave her time to clear her mind, or sort out problems, and it seemed that recently Astrid was dealing with quite a few problems - mostly concerning boys. She walked into her bedroom towel still on. She then walked into her walk in closet to chose what she should wear to the beach. Astrid knew it would be quite chilly, especially near the water so she decided upon something practical. Astrid was generally the type of person who would've much rather stayed at home to veg than to go out for a walk. Walking may have been the 'healthier' choice, but Astrid just never really cared. It just wasn't Astrid. Astrid settled on a cute white tank, a red cable knit sweater, jeans and a pair of cute red flats, after all it was only a walk on the beach, and she'd most likely end up taking her shoes off anyways. She thought it looked decent enough, plus she wasn't set on impressing anyone.. Besides, who goes to the beach at 7 pm, in the fall to impress someone. Astrid got dressed, and finished putting herself together. which honestly took a lot less time than someone would have thought. Astrid was a 'come as you are' person, and a lot of the time she went every where in sweats or jeans. Plus Astrid was only heading to the beach, and the chances of her meeting up with someone were slim to none... but she still wanted to look decent, after all she was a girl. She wasn't too hung up on what the people at school thought of what she looked like, or what she wore as long as she felt comfortable in her skin that was all that mattered to Astrid. However, it was one of those days where Astrid kind of wanted to look pretty, for no real reason at all. She put on a little bit of make-up, she didn't want to over do it, and she styled her hair as she normally would, side bangs with flirty big waves. It was just what Astrid did. She checked herself out in the mirror before grabbing her purse and her phone. she walked out of her room and down the stairs. No one was around so she didn't have to explain herself to anyone, which was handy. She grabbed a bottle of water and walked out of the front door. The beach wasn't that far away, and it was a nice addition to her beach walk, so she decided to walk it instead of drive. Plus it would give her that much more time to start thinking about what was going on in her head. She'd been wrestling with thoughts and feeling for the past couple months now, and she just wasn't too sure how she was going to deal with them. She wasn't the most expressive person when it came to all that stuff, and it took her a little bit of time to figure out exactly what she wanted, so it was a good thing she was going for a walk. And if she needed more time she could just keep walking, or even just chill out on the beach for a little while and just sit and think. Astrid placed her purse over her shoulder as she folded her arms over her chest. It was a little chilly outside, and Astrid started to regret the fact that she didn't bring an actual coat. She sighed and decided to continue walking on. She was too deep in thought to want to wander back home just to get a coat, plus that's a huge waste of time. Astrid had two boys on the brain, and she had different little problems with each. But the boy she felt as though she had a better chance with was slowly slipping away. She could see that he was starting to like someone else, and Astrid didn't feel like being second best to a girl she hated more than absolutely anything. Levi, seemed like a good guy... well at least he was to Astrid, but she couldn't help but think he was starting to fall for marilyn. At last Astrid reached the beach. She took her shoes of and felt the cold sand between her toes. She picked up her shoes and began to wander along the beach and the sun was beginning to set. |
