Romola Garai
When you're on stage, you build strong relationships with the actors, but it's a story you tell with the audience - you have to include them, you have to respond to them, they have to understand the narrative.
Romola Garai
I have always been interested in gender politics, so I'm not that keen on doing things that don't represent a truth about women.
Romola Garai
I just don't believe you're capable of being an actor unless you have a desire to experience your emotions in a public way.
Romola Garai
Motherhood so often comes in conflict with women's capacity to express and live their own lives.
Romola Garai
I have a very strong, probably slightly aggressive personality, and so that just ends up coming out regardless of what I try to do.
Romola Garai
Normally, when youre working on something, there are other characters that you have alliances with, and you have unified goals with some characters.
Romola Garai
I think if I was ever really going to be more serious about writing I'd have to try and find some way to do it with other people. I do find the silence kind of eerie.
Romola Garai
I think I was quite lucky in that I went to an all-girls school. I was never put in an environment where I had to be the other - the woman as opposed to the man - all the way through my education. I was never made to feel that way at home.
