Being Too Real and Imperfect in Hollywood

Constance Wu waitressed her way through her 30s in Hollywood while trying to book acting gigs. After multiple rejections, she felt crushed.

• Why she stopped thinking about results and focused on her craft instead 
• The reality behind her tweets about Fresh off the Boat’s renewal
• Why she reluctantly came back to social media after three years offline
• What she wants people to take away from her book, “Making a Scene”
