ideas no-idea
What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.
ideas dirt
I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.
interesting cleaning disorganized
Cleaning isn't all that interesting to me. I'm disorganized.
plans happens
I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
age safe different
I feel safe that theater will always serve women in different ages.
thinking clothes style
I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.
challenges theatre want
I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.
racism groups states
Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.
jobs drama school
It's a good time for me, but it's only recently I've become comfortable in my job. At the start, it's hard having the nerve to call yourself an actor, let alone doing it. I gave myself two years after drama school, and if I didn't make it, then I'd give it up.
strong character soul
I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.
play different roles
What you aim for, as an actor, is to be able to play a range of different roles.
character actors turns
Every actor turns everything round to their character.
character complicated
I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.
beautiful character frustration
For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I'm more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going.
