“Honestly, I got sick. I think my whole body was very, very sick. Even though you keep on working, but it’s just like, ‘Oh, I can’t sleep. Oh, my back hurts, I don’t know what’s wrong with my skin,’” she explained when Ho-yeon asked how she navigated the sudden fame and attention.

“When Grey’s Anatomy came, I think my life changed very much,” Sandra continued. “It’s tricky to imagine, because this is almost 20 years ago. So the context is very different. But the stress is the same, or the confusion is the same … when people are in extremely amazing, privileged, heavy responsibility positions like this. Your personal health is, I think I realized, came first.”

Reflecting on her experience further, the Killing Eve star said that she realized she needed to be happy with herself in order to navigate fame.

“I learned that I had to take care of my health first,” she said. “But that’s not only your body. That is your soul. That is definitely your mind. So even those things like doubt, question. ‘Cause you can’t, ultimately, depend on anyone else. You have to somehow find it within yourself. You ask people’s opinions, yes of course, but ultimately, we are alone with ourselves.”
