“Acting is a way of hiding, but hiding in another skin as a male person...” — Rebecca Root Quote

“Acting is a way of hiding, but hiding in another skin as a male person was exhausting.”

“Trans people are a minority. But for every person like me who's made a conscious step to do something about the feeling we've had all our lives, there are plenty who've gone part-way or not at all yet.”

“When you're trans, it feels like you are being born in prison.”

“I was a nursery school teacher, and I worked with youth groups. I loved that job. It was exhausting, but you got a lot back - all their purity and insight and innocence is so on the surface, and they're so unrepressed; they'd really scream at you and then give you a massive kiss.”

“I'd love to be one of those guys who could be like, 'Yeah, it's really exhausting,' but the truth is I'm not method. I don't take roles home.”

“This film, Tomb Raider 2, is a big challenge. It's quite exhausting.”
