Juno Temple

“When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.”

“Watching something like 'Orange is the New Black' - the development of the characters is amazing. Or 'Breaking Bad' or 'Mad Men' - those shows went on for so long. You become so invested in those characters, and I think that's a pretty magic thing.”

“I was the kind of girl who'd peep through her bedroom keyhole to check if her dolls were moving.”

“On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.”

“In TV, it's so much more about the writers because they're the ones creating the universe. The writers are the ones who know what's up.”

“It's so rare that you actually get the part that you really, really, really want.”

“I love going to the movies; I grew up going to the movies. I didn't really watch TV, growing up, other than weird cartoons like 'Beavis & Butt-Head.'”

“As kids, we lived in this magical world and roamed free in the gardens. I was obsessed with 'Alice in Wonderland.' My dad cut the hedges so that they started shorter and grew taller, so I could run up and down and feel like I was shrinking.”

“I've got a lot of '70s vintage. I'm a huge vintage junkie.”

“I think being in touch with your emotions is very key as an actor, and I think experiencing life is the only way to be in touch with your emotions.”

“I'm a private person; I stick to my neighbourhood and eat in my little restaurants.”

“But, I think it's great to be able to work with established directors, and then also first-timers. I feel like you learn from both of them, but then you can go and share your knowledge with each of them. That's really fantastic!”

“I love the idea of playing women I think I'm going to learn from.”

“I think it's so important when you're playing a character that you can't judge the person you're playing at all. It's a judgment-free zone. You have to just go for it.”

“Social media... I need to get with it. Obviously it's what everyone's doing, but I like the idea of my life being mine. But at the same time, it would be awesome to be able to get into contact with people who admire my work.”

“I find standard American the hardest. It really fits in a different place in your mouth. Southern, I find the easiest. If you talk to a dialect coach and you get sort of technical, where an English person keeps their voice in their throat, a Southern person does the same, and it's got the same sort of music to talking.”

“The size of a studio film lets you see technology in a way that you wouldn't on an independent film, like the gadgets and the angles and all that.”

“I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.”

“What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.”

“I love independent films. I love going to see them. I love being a part of them because it kind of feels like 'all for one and one for all.' It can be really challenging but also really rewarding because sometimes you have to do so much stuff in a day, but I like that challenge, and you make such amazing friends.”
