“There's only so much you can do of trying, finding yourself very close to getting a part and then not getting it.”
“I don't think there's ever a point when you turn to yourself and go, 'Yes, I've made a success of this career path.' You never feel like you've done your best work. You always think you could be better.”
“Of course you can find something exciting and dynamic in any character you want to portray.”
“I like being in focus, in the moment, changing and adapting and creating and advancing a scene.”
“There is nothing I hate more than meeting someone who has forgotten the art of conversing.”
“I have always worked from that place, that if you are going to inhabit someone and get under their eyes, you need to have empathy.”
“It happens very rarely that your ears perk up about a certain project.”
“You never know really what anyone thinks about you - that's why all my closest friends are ones I've had since my schooling days when I was 5. And I surround myself with people who I trust and who know me.”
“I'm not going to pre-empt anything regarding how my career's going to go because I'm always prepared for the worst.”
“I stupidly ignored education completely. I found it dull and I preferred to cause chaos and have fun. I regret this massively now.”
“When you work with people who are so passionate about their product it's kinda inspiring.”
“Especially with comedy, you take massive risks because ultimately you're trying to be funny. If you're not funny, then it's really embarrassing and you look stupid.”
“I feel very fortunate, always.”
“Grief jumps out at you when you're least expecting it.”
