Over the course of our hour-and-a-half-long conversation, I come to learn that there’s no topic too light or too deep for Collins, and the range of what we covered is a testament to that. No matter what we discussed—be it the polarized reception of Emily in Paris, her mix-breed rescue Redford, or the importance of going to therapy—Collins brought a certain levity to all subject matter. They say that how you do anything is how you do everything, and I’m beginning to get the idea that Collins does everything with curiosity and openness.
Despite being born in the English countryside to performer Phil Collins and Jill Tavelman, Collins spent most of her formative years in Los Angeles, where she went on to earn a degree in journalism from USC. As a teenager, Collins wrote a column, NY Confidential, for the British magazine Elle Girl. She has also written for Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and the Los Angeles Times. Although writing was one of her first creative outlets, Collins has never been a stranger to the camera—her first on-screen credit coming at the age of 2 for the BBC series Growing Pains. But it wasn’t until age 20 that Collins landed her breakout role in 2009’s The Blind Side, and she went on to star in audience favorites such as Mirror Mirror (2012), Love, Rosie (2014), and Rules Don’t Apply (2016), the latter of which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
