I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

I've got friends who are so good at getting away with things, like going up to the desk to get upgraded on a plane, for example. I haven't got any of that kind of confidence in those situations. I look so awkward. I act awkward. I'm really apologetic. I fail to get anything that way.

I was kind of overwhelmed by the idea that we are just balls of energy and that we have imposed terms on feelings.

Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.

I'm crap at pretending to be something I'm not when I'm in my real life.

To not want children or not be considerate of them is a very unwomanly thing to be, from a certain point of view.

It's a good time for me, but it's only recently I've become comfortable in my job. At the start, it's hard having the nerve to call yourself an actor, let alone doing it. I gave myself two years after drama school, and if I didn't make it, then I'd give it up.
