character actors turns
Every actor turns everything round to their character.
dressed judged people
The difficult thing for me is going to a event and having to be dressed up and being judged for what you wear. People care so much about that these days.
teacher drama school
I remembered a mantra that one of my teachers used to tell me at drama school, that every thought will pass across your face. Even if you're thinking about Shreddies the camera will read it.
thinking world want
I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.
shy
I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.
two people havens
I haven't got one or two people that I aspired to be like.
fun powerful play
It was really fun to play the woman in charge and in control. She's powerful and she uses the aspects of being a woman. She uses her sexuality as a weapon.
prioritize
It's how you prioritize in life.
different done want
My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.
parent roles saying-please
My parents are desperate, they keep saying: 'Please stop doing these angsty roles; make it easier for us.' So, yeah, I'd love to do some comedy.
actresses moments
There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.
religious believe church
There's always been a religious strain in me. I can't get rid of it. I don't want to get rid of it. I'm not involved in a church, but I understand that impulse to believe in something that's never going to betray you.
thinking acting cameras
With film acting, and often when the camera comes very close, you just have to think about something and the camera will pick it up.
fashion jobs opportunity
There's such a huge link with fashion, with front covers of magazines and selling products, but that's not what you go into the job for, and yet you're persuaded that's what you have to do to create the opportunities for yourself.
