Madison also reflected on the future and what her plans are after achieving this incredible feat so early in her career. “It’s an honor to be recognised, and I hope that throughout all stages of my life I will be able to continue working in this capacity and keep playing interesting characters.”
“I am used to fighting for characters and auditions, so it is a bit different now. But I am excited to play the roles I might get to play and people I might get to work with. I am only 25, and I still feel like a student. This award is a beautiful reminder to stay on this journey, and I hope to feel like a student even 40 years from now,” she added.
