“The only thing stopping me from being on the streets was the fact I had friends. But you can use up that goodwill. Or you feel scared to ask people for help. Your pride kicks in.

“Costume really helps you feel in character.”

“A couple of weeks before I started auditioning for 'Sex Education,' I was very convinced I was going to quit acting.”

“If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.”

“I was really nervous. Even when I left the audition I was nervous.”

“I never don't know my lines. I never take the audition pages into the room. I end up relying on them or looking at them too much, and it makes me feel unprepared, so I always learn my lines without fail.”
