More quotes by Ruth Wilson
I've always quite liked the idea of being an archeologist, sort of scrubbing around in the dirt.
Ruth Wilson
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
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'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.
Ruth Wilson
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
My remit has always been: I want to do something different from the last thing I've done.
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'm crap at pretending to be something I'm not when I'm in my real life.
Ruth Wilson
I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
Ruth Wilson
I'd love to direct again.
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 feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's scary.
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 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
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
We'll always have art, darling.
Ruth Wilson
Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.
Ruth Wilson
It's how you prioritize in life.
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.
