Felicity Jones
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.
Felicity Jones
It was amazing how much rehearsal helped with the performance - it was almost a theatrical approach to filmmaking.
Felicity Jones
I've been very lucky. Directors I've worked with have been very amenable to changes.
Felicity Jones
I always wear the shoes of the character a week before going on set the idea of just putting on a new pair of shoes on the first day of filming is just horrific.
Felicity Jones
Most of the time I was in the background. I never played [the Virgin] Mary. I was always kind of the third angel.
Felicity Jones

Felicity Jones
