ruffles ifs feathers
If feathers don't ruffle, nothing flies.
long actresses loud
I always knew that the only thing I wanted to do was act, but it took me a long time to say it out loud to anyone, let alone myself. I am surprised by how dogged I have been in wanting to make a living as a respected actress.
letting-go waiting important
After filming, I cant wait to shake off all that 50s primness. Ill go out to a gig and dance ridiculously. I love to lose myself in music. Just letting go - its dead important.
acting roles goes-on
My first acting experience was a non-speaking role as a robot. My costume was a cardboard box covered in tinfoil, but I was so shy I refused to go on stage.
teacher theatre levels
I did an A Level in Theatre Studies and had a really inspirational teacher, and then I just went on to university.
older power stop susan
You know that book 'Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking', by Susan Cain? That's like my manifesto. The older I get, the more I think I could be a hermit.
love
I certainly love getting to know the babies if I'm going to be working with them.
grew hold soon time
The first time I had to hold a baby, I was really nervous, but I soon grew in confidence.
