america england english felt thinks
Everyone thinks England and America are the same, as we have the same language, but I felt like an alien as an English person living in America.
amazing asking british crazy everybody people references shows
The Americans think British T.V. shows are amazing, and everybody references 'Downton Abbey', and, in my genre, 'Doctor Who', which everyone is crazy for. People are always asking me and are always disappointed that I haven't been in it.
horror movies music turn watch
I can't even watch horror movies - I have to turn the music down!
I try to really focus on the actors I'm working with and kind of read and respond to their behavior.
decide worst
As an actor, if you decide that someone is bad... you can't play bad, because even the worst person doesn't think what they're doing is bad.
best gamer remain strategic
I'm not the best gamer - I think you need to be strategic and level-headed, and you need to remain calm under pressure... and I don't really have those qualities!
home
Home will always be London. There's something unique about the British. It's about cheekiness.
nice people being-nice
Be nice to old people.
beautiful mean thinking
I honestly think vulnerability is a beautiful thing: it's tenderness, authenticity, and risk-taking. It means you're living a life where the stakes are high and you are continuing to push your own boundaries and learn new things. It keeps you flexible and young.
little-sister ugly
Fear is vulnerability's ugly little sister.
mistake mean creative
I fear getting things wrong and messing up, and this makes no rational sense. When I'm mindful and awake, I know mistakes are part of a creative process. But when I become disconnected, I can be incredibly mean and hard on myself.
pain feelings guilt
Isolating, shutting down, and feeling guilt about pain makes it linger so much longer. Reconnecting, trusting, and being open and honest is really the only cure. Reaching out and talking to loved ones and friends is a must.
interesting perspective quality
One of the most interesting things for me in playing another species is that you want to make them different enough to be alien but have enough human qualities to be relatable. This really forces you to look at what it is to be human from a totally new perspective!
character choices trying
The thing I like about the sci-fi genre is that you get to examine universal themes and polarizing moral choices. The characters have a lot on their shoulders and are often trying to survive in some very difficult and hostile environments.
