Annabelle Wallis

“The opulence and grandeur of a lot of period drama really helps you get into character and appreciate the luxury of good quality. If you're fashion-minded in any way, you can't help but be incredibly inspired and apply elements to your own style.”

“I want to stretch myself as much as I can whilst I can, just work and try all different things and have a good time.”

“I love Stephen Fry. His tweets are witty, poignant, and intelligent.”

“I like the idea that I come into a room, and you think you're dealing with one thing, but the truth is I'm very layered.”

“I grew up playing paintball and riding motorcycles and horses, so I really know how to rough and tumble.”

“I've always known I wanted to go into acting, but being a very proud teenager, I wasn't ready to admit it until I felt like it was going to be possible.”

“I remember telling people I booked this job; they were like, 'What is it called?' I was like, 'Peaky Blinders,' and they were like, 'What?' It sounds ridiculous, but I like it because there's an instant intrigue about the name.”

“I love comedy, and I always wanted to go that way, but I felt so passionate about drama.”

“If I get a chance to dress up, I really go for it.”

“My mother had a very open-minded philosophy about having children: that they should be free to develop in their own way.”

“It's wonderful to return to 'Peaky Blinders.' We're all here for the right reasons - to work and do justice to what's written on the page.”
