challenges world fantasy
There's a challenge to playing these fantasy figures because they are fantasy figures. You have to enter into this sort of imaginative world of the writer.
nice clear-direction giving
It's not great if someone gives you sort of bland praise without giving you clear direction and say, "This is good, let's try it like this." I have worked with someone who seemed quite inarticulate and just would say, "That's good, that's good." That's very frustrating because - it's nice to know something is good but you know it can always change.
unexpected process situation
Within the process of filming, unexpected situations occur.
humanitarian impulse wells
There is a humanitarian impulse that one aspires to and there are days when one doesn't do it very well.
villain feels
I don't feel I'm playing villains all the time.

patterns habit very-good
I'm not very good at being domesticated. I've tried. The domestic life I find claustrophobic - the rituals and habits and patterns.
potters brilliant fantastic
The sets were fantastic. The Harry Potter sets are brilliant. You do get transported for a second.

Kenya doesn't have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.
careers guts plans
I don't plan a career. That doesn't work for me. I just have to go with my gut.
film possibility shots
When you get into the edit you'll understand what making a film is. You'll see all the things you missed and all the possibilities you have from what you shot.
editing giving way
I'm more relaxed about how the editing process will create a performance and that, in a way, gives me a sense of freedom.
clean depressing felt lack lives living people water
Yes, it's depressing when there's a lack of clean water and sanitation, ... But here are people living lives of vitality. I only felt welcomed.
gardener patience spirit tenacity
The patience, the tenacity of the gardener for me, it's the spirit of Tessa.
