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.
different done want
My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.
actresses moments
There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.
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.
voice dancing parent
I always vaguely knew I wanted to perform, but I haven't got the greatest singing voice and my dancing isn't up to scratch. Acting was really the only alternative. My parents have been really supportive throughout.
two people havens
I haven't got one or two people that I aspired to be like.
plans happens
I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
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.
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.
interesting cleaning disorganized
Cleaning isn't all that interesting to me. I'm disorganized.
ideas no-idea
What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.
character actors turns
Every actor turns everything round to their character.
