“You can play women who have a face on or who zip something up, but you...” — Jessie Buckley Quote

You can play women who have a face on or who zip something up, but you have to dig deeper to actually find the humanity and real aspects.

I had to be an adult very quickly and didn't have any friends.

I did it all, singing, the harp, piano. But I was so shy, I'd wake up at six to practice piano because I didn't want anyone to hear me play. But then I'd do a big show in school where everyone would see me, and that was actually alright.

Strength, to me, is about exposing vulnerabilities and foibles and facts and people that are honest.

The people who are inspiring and strong for me are the ones who acknowledge vulnerabilities.

I've danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it's all choreographed a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it's very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It's kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts.

I personally feel that, for some people, their physique and looks work for them. And when you're deprived of both these aspects, you rely on humour!
