More quotes by 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
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
I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.
Ruth Wilson
My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.
Ruth Wilson
Every actor turns everything round to their character.
Ruth Wilson
What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.

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
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
I admire the brazen qualities in people.
Ruth Wilson
I'm crap at pretending to be something I'm not when I'm in my real life.
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'd love to direct again.
Ruth Wilson
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.
Ruth Wilson
To not want children or not be considerate of them is a very unwomanly thing to be, from a certain point of view.
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
I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.
Ruth Wilson
Cleaning isn't all that interesting to me. I'm disorganized.
Ruth Wilson
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.
