“I'm always an advocate of 'acting is reacting,' which can be difficult...” — Maxine Peake Quote

“I'm always an advocate of 'acting is reacting,' which can be difficult.”

“I think an actor's process should be very personal and private, and sometimes I have thought, 'Oh, please, put it away now.'”

“I don't really engage with that world of technology, which might be to my detriment.”

“I remember being at the Paralympics and I was listening to all my teammates speak and I've never felt more redundant in my life. They were all advocates and I knew they were like that, but they've just never been given the same platform that someone like myself or Kurt Fearnley, or whoever, has been given.”

“I'm a huge advocate for human rights and cultural rights. I stand up for minorities and will always continue to do so.”

“I think the world is ambivalent about feminism. So I can't blame college students. I think they're reflecting the greater culture's attitude toward feminism. So what I can do is, in ways that are appropriate, advocate for feminism and help the students learn what feminism is about.”
