children considered definitely education hungry kenya pencils privilege somewhere stayed
When you go somewhere like Kenya and you see how the children don't have pencils and pens, and all of these things are considered luxuries, and what a privilege they see education as and how hungry they are to learn, I wanted to give my brother and sister long lectures. That definitely stayed with me.
dream children
Without education, you really can't dream as a child.
dream children giving
If you educate children, then they are capable of so much - you empower them, you give them choices, and you enable them to create the lives that they dream for themselves.
jobs children drama
I started acting when I was seven. And I went to a local drama school which is very well-known in London. Because of that, I started getting jobs, and I worked all the time as a child, pretty much non-stop.
exploit films great ok
The ethos of most films is that you make a film, you exploit the community, you exploit the environment, and it's OK because you made a great film, you know?
believe definitely face love wearing
I love make-up and the process of transforming my face for a night out, but I definitely don't believe in wearing it every day. I think it's really important to be comfortable with the way you look without it.
amazed change dissect impressed
I know a lot of actors who get a part and then they dissect it and they want to change it and they want to add stuff. I'm always amazed and so impressed by actors who do that.
crew family six
When you're on set, the crew are like your family because you see them every day, six days a week.
eat food goes time
We eat food all the time and don't really understand what goes into something like bread.
course family growing life men visible wonderful
There weren't really any visible men in my family when I was growing up, but of course there have been men in my life, wonderful men.
school
The wonderful thing about drama school is that it stretches you in a way the industry doesn't.
My mum believes in me almost more than I believe in myself.
incredibly
I'm incredibly impatient; I'd like to be less so, and more content with the now.
bit wear
I would never wear anything too revealing. I'm not a fan of dresses where you look nude... I think that looks a bit desperate.
