What was said
"It came at me so fast and turned my life around. So I always felt I was kind of catching up, never stopped to think. I was just always uncomfortable with my image. Being all over magazines when I walked down the street. And I always felt kind of fake and an imposter at the same time because I didn't work as an actress."
Derek reveals she struggled with imposter syndrome during her rise to fame after the 1979 film 10, explaining she had no agent, manager, or film aspirations when she got the role. She describes feeling uncomfortable with her ubiquitous image and magazine covers, believing she hadn't earned her success through traditional acting work like others in the industry.
