Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.

There's been a huge history of cisgender success on the back of trans stories, which is something I'm deeply aware of. My take on it, I suppose, was that I do think actors should be able to play anything.

A lot of people think theatre must be much harder work than film, but anything histrionic or superfluous gets seen on camera so you have to work to distil it into a complete sense of what's true.

I walk around talking to myself in accents. Usually people look at me like I'm a complete fruit loop.

Our dream as actors is to tell interesting stories about interesting people.

I never really committed to being an actor. It never felt like it would be possible, I guess.
