“When I'm not working, you'll find me down the play park or on the Tube...” — Suranne Jones Quote

When I'm not working, you'll find me down the play park or on the Tube with my Converse on and a muslin cloth in my hand, wiping my boy's snotty nose.

I grew up surrounded by two farms and their fields. My earliest memories are of our mongrel dog running around and cows looking in the window while we ate our tea.

When I'm older, I'd like to play one of Tennessee Williams's women and an older Adelaide in 'Guys and Dolls.'

I worked in pubs when I was younger. My nickname was Morticia.

Being in the public eye, with the Internet - it's scary. You can put out too much, and it becomes a part of the pie chart of who you are. Things stick. And they never go away.

When I was in seventh grade, I was a scrawny boy with no muscles, so I went out for wrestling. My intention was to develop secret wrestling skills so that if I were jumped by a bully, I'd shout, 'Ha!' and he'd be on the ground in a headlock.

I play 'World of Warcraft,' which means I end up hanging out with teenage boys a lot.

You can go into neighborhoods in the United States where people dress a certain way because they don't want to be out of touch, where boys wear pants down to their knees, which nobody has compelled them to do but they pick up the cultural norms, or where girls are improperly dressed by my eyes, but that's what they see in the media.

At the beginning of my career, as a boy from Peru in London, suddenly discovering British culture and society, I looked so much at the work of the photographers Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson, which seemed to represent a wonderful vanished grandeur of my new country.
