“I have a very musical family from my Scottish roots.” — Carice van Houten Quote

I have a very musical family from my Scottish roots.

I never believe in going to America with my show reel and knocking on every agent's door. I couldn't even do it. I'm way too insecure and too proud.

I pick up on other people's discomfort.

It's not so easy to forgive.

I can't say I'm having trouble with my husband or that I have a stubborn child.

I try to stay very, very true to my roots and my lifestyle and I wanted to be able to share that with my fans.

My roots are in theater.

For more than 300 years Qawwali music and Sufism have been deeply anchored in my family's roots and we spread it around to the public.

I come from an area of southern England that is utterly homogenous. All the history near me is about royalty and fealty, things which leave me cold. I lack roots, and have great warmth for places that have them.

Roots is not just a saga of my family. It is the symbolic saga of a people.
