“A lot of the qualities that Emily has, if you put them on paper, would seem so annoying,” Collins said in a Nylon interview. “To have someone be optimistic, bright and bubbly — it’s sad to think that people would look and go, ‘That’s a lot.’ They’re such beautiful qualities, and the fact that she can partner that with being vulnerable and asking for help and making mistakes — she’s not infallible.”
