Female ambition is such a complicated thing to play because it is an aggressive quality, and people respond very badly to women exhibiting any kind of aggression.
Romola Garai
When you talk to women who were working as print journalists or in broadcasting in the '50s, and then you talk to women who were working in the late '60s, there's an enormous difference. There had already been a huge transition. Then, of course, you get well into the '70s and there were women with children working.
Romola Garai
We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.
Romola Garai
You don't have to conform to a very specific aesthetic today, whereas 1950s women definitely had to.
Romola Garai
Postwar Europe was morally stagnant, and there was a lot of neo-conservatism.
Romola Garai
I don't really want to play parts that I think are not fully developed or fleshed out, especially with female roles.
Romola Garai
