My dad is such a good man, hard-working.
one-day next life-is
Literally, I don't know where life is gonna go from one day to the next, and that's as exciting as it is tiring.
girl real men
I'd love to work on a real girl piece with some fabulous actresses. I feel like I've worked with so many men.
acting radar being-famous
I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.
fearless guts
When it comes to my work, I'm fearless. I go with my gut.
mistake writing play
When I was younger, I used to write to directors when I was unsure I could play a role. I'd say: 'You've made a terrible mistake.'
artist kind horrible
Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it's just not happening, and I feel like that's how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works.
obsessed
We live in a celebrity-obsessed society.
self acting shallow
There is a part of me that is not fulfilled by acting. It is a self-involved life; it can feel shallow, but not very often.
mother jobs hate
I hate to say that my mother was 'just a housewife', because in addition to that she has had lots of part-time secretarial jobs in factories and hospitals, always working really hard for our family.
heart theatre want
Theatre is where my heart is. It's where I can do my best work. And even if I do films and TV, that's what I want to come back to.
people trying reason
The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.
believe humility littles
My family believe you should never be flashy about anything. Maybe that handicapped me a little bit, that extreme humility.
laughing lovely actors
It's lovely to work with a group of actors who make you laugh and smile.
