More quotes by Ruth Wilson
Every actor turns everything round to their character.
Ruth Wilson
There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.
Ruth Wilson
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
I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.
Ruth Wilson
I always vaguely knew I wanted to perform, but I haven't got the greatest singing voice and my dancing isn't up to scratch. Acting was really the only alternative. My parents have been really supportive throughout.
Ruth Wilson
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.
Ruth Wilson
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.
Ruth Wilson
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
I'd love to direct again.
Ruth Wilson
I'm crap at pretending to be something I'm not when I'm in my real life.
Ruth Wilson
Cleaning isn't all that interesting to me. I'm disorganized.
Ruth Wilson
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.
Ruth Wilson
My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.
Ruth Wilson
What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.
Ruth Wilson
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.
Ruth Wilson
I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
Ruth Wilson
I admire the brazen qualities in people.
Ruth Wilson
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.
Ruth Wilson
I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.
Ruth Wilson
I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's scary.
