“I didn’t go to drama college when I thought I would, I didn’t get my breakthrough [role] when I thought I would … it’s interesting to me that both this show [Dead Boy Detectives] and Margaret both took about five years to gestate and come through,” she said at the time, sharing her advice that you have to “just keep on going” to realize your goals and dreams.

“If you know what you want, just keep taking the steps toward that. Even if it doesn’t work out the way you planned, at least that way you know you tried,” Connell continued. “With Margaret, I tried so hard and even if it hadn’t worked out, at least I would have known I gave it everything I had.”
