Rose Leslie quotes about
careers age graduates
Graduating at the age of 21 was a wonderful age to hopefully start a career.
character thinking long
I don't really think it matters if you go into stage or TV as long as you do a bit of character work, really.
different sometimes bigs
With big productions, you can sometimes get lost with the terminology and all the different departments.
phases honeymoon ends
The honeymoon phase always ends, for everyone.
character lovely interpretation
There's a lovely freedom of will when you approach a character that no one has really come across before, because it is your own interpretation.
fun thinking healthy
It's never fun to be scared [about stage fright] but I think that it is important and it's healthy to always push yourself.
thinking nerves doe
I think booze is a good ritual. I think knocking back a shot of whiskey does calm the nerves and helps a lot.
strong character men
I certainly relate to Ygritte in the fact that she is so strong and also ruthless as well and I feel that especially within Game of Thrones, I think that as a show, it is one of the frontrunners for showing dominant female characters and making sure that men answer to women rather than the other way around.
character talking able
Working on camera is a different ballgame in the sense that it's far more intimate work, but the basics and the foundations of being able to create something that isn't necessarily your own instincts - is a character that you have inside your head - whether you're talking about television or film or theater, that still has to be the grounding work.
thinking play trying
You always try to play it off cool, but even if I think I have a certain laidback body language when I'm meeting someone who I greatly admire, I still have this horrible tendency to go bright red.
