Quotes
I've been very lucky to have strong women characters to play.
At an early age, singing was something I found fun, but I never saw myself as a singer.
I need to have an interesting arc to my character if it's going to be interesting for me to play her. I need those dynamic shifts because just like in real life, we're never just one person. It would be so boring playing someone who doesn't have the capacity to change.
My family is very close to me. I have old friends from when I was five years old, the ones who really know you.
I'm in a situation where I can fly from one set one evening to another set and start straight away. I think for any working person no matter what field they are in, it is maintaining a structure for your family life as well. That's very, very hard. I find it to be the better and better it goes, the harder and harder it is."
