Being an actor is an extension of telling a story and I loved story telling as a child. |
I always start from scratch with a character - they're never based on anyone else. You get ideas of what people look like, and I'm a great people watcher. You can draw inspiration from people. |
I like to think I'm a listener, and I'm fascinated by observing people - I suppose you just lock that in. |
I think this is a very difficult job, especially for women - there are too few roles around. I never let myself rest on my laurels. |
I think you know what you're up against when you take on a piece that you know is going to involve dragging up a lot emotions - you can end up being deeply immersed in gloom. |
It would show hugely if I didn't want to be somewhere. Doing what you want to do can only generate good energy. |
