I study English literature but my friends are doing psychology and things like that. No one cares about acting there. It's not competitive and it's a nice environment for me.

More quotes by Yasmin Paige
I'm going to Queen Mary's [university] in East London and I am trying to juggle it. Sometimes, it's really hard.
Yasmin Paige
I haven't done anything that can match up to what I learnt about myself as an actress and as a person or the friends that I made.
Yasmin Paige
That's part of this industry. It's hard a lot of the time, especially when you get knocked down a lot. There's a lot of criticism and it's always in the back of your mind that you may never work again.
Yasmin Paige
I had a very short time on that film [The Possibilities Are Endless] and it was quite strange because the process was kind of like a documentary, which was different for me. The way everything was filmed was very casual.
Yasmin Paige
I wanted to go to university and experience something that I felt like I'd missed. I wanted to be around bright, intelligent young people who were learning about themselves.
Yasmin Paige
I had a hard time at school because I worked, so I was quite often out of school, which meant that I didn't make many friends. It can happen to child actors, because you're not in the school environment. And I did miss that school environment and being around people.
Yasmin Paige
I didn't know I wanted to be actor when I was four.I did it at the beginning because my brother did it before me and it was a hobby. I didn't mind doing it. But then it got more serious.
Yasmin Paige
I like the idea of going to university and studying. I didn't do it because it was a back-up plan. In some ways, it kind of goes hand in hand with acting. There's a lot of analysis and enriching your mind, as well as problem solving. And it can only help being around people as an actor.
Yasmin Paige
I'm actually quite different when I'm there [ in the university] to how I am on a TV or film set. It's very challenging and I really, really like it. And I enjoy being in that environment.
Yasmin Paige
You have to remain positive and just try your best and part of that is doing things that continually surprise people, including yourself, so that you don't get pigeon-holed.
Yasmin Paige
I'm too sensitive. I could not show up to a murder scene and do anything like that. It would break me instantly.
Yasmin Paige
When I was 12, I did my first sort of speaking role. But I wouldn't say I had a passion for it from the start. It developed as I started to become a bit more mature.
Yasmin Paige
There was a huge period where I was filming and studying. But then we went into summer and it became easier. I did find combining the two difficult and I haven't figured out how to do it effortlessly just yet.
Yasmin Paige
I get very nervous in un-trodden territory but it's important to keep doing it just to prove to myself that I can do it.
Yasmin Paige
I'm someone who is quite uncomfortable if something is different. I like doing things I'm used to in everyday life. So, I always try to push myself outside of that when looking for roles, otherwise I would never do anything different.
Yasmin Paige
I really admire police officers, surgeons, or anyone who works in high stressed situations.
Yasmin Paige
With Submarine, when I came out of school, people were so lovely and supportive. And you don't get that experience very often. It felt like a family on-set. So Submarine changed so much for me.
Yasmin Paige
To work with Richard [Ayoade] is my favourite thing in the world. He is my favourite person. So, it was great for me to be involved in a project that was, again, so different and with such wonderful actors. Everyone from Submarine is in the film in one way or another, which helps because it really does feel like a family.
Yasmin Paige
When I was 12 or 13, I started to watch films and understand more about the craft and that helped me to develop. But it also felt like a game, because it was fun. I mean, all of us do it when we're kids to a degree - play acting. But then I came to realise that it's a lovely way to express yourself. So, my passion for it developed as I got older.
Yasmin Paige
Going forward, anything that Richard [Ayoade] asks me to do, I would be so honoured... even if it's sweeping the street because he's such a great person and a great friend.
