"I was always hypnotised by cinema and would get this sense of being overwhelmed every time I watched a film. It was a weird feeling. Through that intuition I felt like this is what I have to do for the rest of my life."

"It wasn’t my place. I never did well. I really struggled and I really wanted to do well… it just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t my place. I didn’t really have any great teachers who saw me until I found acting was where I felt safe. So, yeah, it was the right decision."

"I was given the gift of learning by watching such amazing actors, but I also spent so much time alone. I was in a different country alone during lockdown. I was given the opportunity that I didn’t want to mess up. Because I didn’t know if an opportunity like this would ever come again."

"I think that’s what made the whole process really frightening, because in some ways I felt like I hadn’t earned it."

"I did not know that you could make television like this. And I think that this whole experience has opened the door to a world I did not know existed."
