“I've been an actor since I was 18. So that's my proper job. But I was ...” — Sara Pascoe Quote

I've been an actor since I was 18. So that's my proper job. But I was not a very successful actor, if you consider being able to afford your rent successful. I did lots of old people's tours; reminiscence tours.

When I was 18, I moved out of home. I decided to try to be an actor, so took myself off to slum it with nine humans and a million mice in a red Leytonstone house.

A show that I loved as a kid was 'Maid Marian And Her Merry Men'. It was a really strong female character making fun of the boys, an inversion of gender politics. But it was very funny, too. I always wanted to be one of the village people messing about in the mud and being stinky.

I really respect the work and speeches of Tony Benn. He was a powerful speaker with a huge heart.

I've already got my rent paid, and it's too late in my life for me to go around talking up stuff that I don't like or believe in.

More teenagers go to movies or rent a tape of a movie than sit down and watch sitcoms on television.

Almost every one of us interacts with the experience or sharing economy every day, and I'm proud that Rent the Runway has helped to popularize and normalize this behavior.

I've had to do all kinds of jobs to pay the rent. I've even worked in a Cornish tin mine.

People are working hard, they're doing everything we ask of them, and they are still struggling. It's not enough to just have a job. We need to make sure that these are good-paying jobs that pay the rent and put food on the table. Jobs that have benefits like health care and that allow people to save for retirement.
