In Britain, we haven't got enough money to make these long-running shows. We always do little mini ones. You have more control as an actor over what you want to do with it. On these you drive yourself mad trying to know what's going to happen, because the writers don't.

I've got friends who are so good at getting away with things, like going up to the desk to get upgraded on a plane, for example. I haven't got any of that kind of confidence in those situations. I look so awkward. I act awkward. I'm really apologetic. I fail to get anything that way.

My parents are desperate, they keep saying: 'Please stop doing these angsty roles make it easier for us.' So, yeah, I'd love to do some comedy.

I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's scary.

It's a good time for me, but it's only recently I've become comfortable in my job. At the start, it's hard having the nerve to call yourself an actor, let alone doing it. I gave myself two years after drama school, and if I didn't make it, then I'd give it up.

I remembered a mantra that one of my teachers used to tell me at drama school, that every thought will pass across your face. Even if you're thinking about Shreddies the camera will read it.

I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.
Ruth Wilson
Image
I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.
Ruth Wilson
Image
For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I'm more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going.
Ruth Wilson
Image
I'm crap at pretending to be something I'm not when I'm in my real life.
Ruth Wilson
Image
I was kind of overwhelmed by the idea that we are just balls of energy and that we have imposed terms on feelings.
Ruth Wilson
Image
I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.
Ruth Wilson
Image
Even now, for women to be contemplating the act of ending their life is considered horrific because they are the giver of life. They're seen in a patriarchal society as the one who offers life and has to nurture a child and have a child within them. That's your only role.

You never have a consistent job as an actor, so you're always looking for the next thing. It's defined by the opportunities that come across your doorstep at the time. A career is totally in the hands of fate, in terms of how those opportunities arise.
Ruth Wilson
Image
I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

Image
I admire the brazen qualities in people.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.
