actresses moments
There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.
religious believe church
There's always been a religious strain in me. I can't get rid of it. I don't want to get rid of it. I'm not involved in a church, but I understand that impulse to believe in something that's never going to betray you.
thinking acting cameras
With film acting, and often when the camera comes very close, you just have to think about something and the camera will pick it up.
fashion jobs opportunity
There's such a huge link with fashion, with front covers of magazines and selling products, but that's not what you go into the job for, and yet you're persuaded that's what you have to do to create the opportunities for yourself.
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.
ideas no-idea
What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.
ideas dirt
I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.
interesting cleaning disorganized
Cleaning isn't all that interesting to me. I'm disorganized.
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.
plans happens
I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
age safe different
I feel safe that theater will always serve women in different ages.
thinking clothes style
I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.
challenges theatre want
I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.
racism groups states
Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.
