Single mums do come in for a hard time. Society is incredibly judgmental. I know this.
I think any form of self-expression is half confidence, half sheer hard work and, maybe, a bit of talent thrown in.
I'm often drawn to characters that are more obviously one thing. They're passionate, and there is always an element of strength because I think every person possesses that in some way, even if they've experienced hardship in their lives.
Everyone can commit to 20 minutes, especially if there's a glass of Chardonnay afterwards.
The early stage of pregnancy for me is quite hard to hide.
