school makeup hair
I go into work and get my hair and makeup done, go into wardrobe. I have to do three hours of school a day.
facts tvs watches
I'm not a huge TV person, but when I do watch, it's always after the fact because I like to binge watch.
reality giving balance
The words are ludicrous at times, but you add the reality to it and that gives it the balance it has
writing thinking natural
I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.
reading dark musical
I've been reading scripts where they've been doing a lot of singing now, but within the dark, realistic story line. I would love, love, love, love to do that. But not a musical on Broadway, I don't have that kind of energy or stamina.
running years long
American shows can go on for 20 years. I respond more to the British format. Three seasons is a long run for them to tell a story.
kids jealous harsh
Kids can be harsh, especially when they get jealous.
actors want
As an actor you want to just like, act as much as possible.
character thinking actors
It's weird, not to sound too actor but I think that any time you do a performance, you kind of take a little piece of that character, cause it's a part of you you're using.
nice home busy
It's nice when you get to leave and travel and be busy and then come home.
careers roles
I'm not at the place in my career necessarily where I'm like offered every role.
love-is people particular
I love being on movie sets. It's a very particular setting. And not all of the time, most of the time, there's always people you don't like, and you have to see them every day.
tv-shows tvs kind
You get a kind of familiarity on a set when you're on a TV show.
couple focus acting
Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.
