“We all need to express ourselves, but a lot of the time, you know, you...” — Aimee Lou Wood Quote

We all need to express ourselves, but a lot of the time, you know, you turn inward, and you actually implode rather than explode. Some people explode, some people implode; I'm such a little masochistic imploder!

I wish I'd learned that your body belongs to you. It doesn't belong to anybody else. That's such a hard thing to feel because when you look at yourself, you're seeing yourself through what society wants, what's supposed to be perfect or desirable.

I think therapy can also be a bit of a weird thing, because it's amazing, and I think it's so vital, and it's helped me in so many ways, but it also does uncover things that you probably would never usually because it's like a bloody excavation. It's like unrooting everything.

There's a lot of catharsis to be found in 'Sex Education,' and that's the point - you know watching it that whatever you're going through, it is all going to be OK. At the heart of the show is talking, it genuinely believes in therapy and healing and I think that makes people feel safe when they're watching it.

I think we're past the point in entertainment where you can have one thing and explode. If you have one thing, people ask, 'All right, what else?' You have to be multihyphenate.

In the past, I would try to use as little strength as possible because strength will get you tired if you explode too many times. Well, get in shape.

I didn't have the welfare. I didn't have the proper education. I didn't have these things. That's why it's almost like a complex in me that I want to explode myself in my films.

I was about 6-foot-3 my freshman year of high school, and after the summer, I was about 6-foot-8. It all happened so fast. I went into the summer being tall, and when I came back, I was a giant. My knees, man, they were throbbing all the time. I couldn't sit in the car for long stretches; my knees felt like they were going to explode.
