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
It's how you prioritize in life.
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
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'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'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.
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.
Ruth Wilson
Every actor turns everything round to their character.
Ruth Wilson
I don't really plan. I just see what happens.
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
Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.
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
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 was kind of overwhelmed by the idea that we are just balls of energy and that we have imposed terms on feelings.
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
There are lots of moments that are great for an actress.
Ruth Wilson
I haven't got one or two people that I aspired to be like.
Ruth Wilson
What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.
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.
