Zitat des Tages von Emily Berrington:
I've never loved a character as much as I do Niska. The way she's been written is so complex, with huge amounts of light and dark. It's a really satisfying challenge to play someone who is superhuman in their intelligence and physical ability but completely naive when it comes to certain aspects of life.
I never thought I'd end up doing comedy, but actually, it's been something I've really relished the challenge of and ended up doing quite a bit of.
A standard day usually starts very early - 4.30 A.M. pick-ups and in the make-up chair by 5.30.
I've taken that with me since working with him; in order to be William Hurt, you have use every moment like he does.
'Humans' would definitely score really well on the Bechdel test - the one that tracks how well represented women are in drama.
You don't want to disappoint, or feel like you're trying to recreate the magic of something.
Little girls as children, I think, are expected to behave better. If a boy's naughty at school, he's a little bit cheeky and mischievous. If a girl's naughty, she's trouble.
I'm really rubbish with technology; I'm super backward! I think I got a mobile phone last out of all my friends. I really worried about people being able to get hold of me at any time - I really hated that idea.
Auditioning for something you already know and love is terrifying.
I had a brilliant trip to Mexico with my friend Ellie during my gap year. We thought we were being really cool and going off the beaten track while all our friends went to Thailand and Australia. The first beachside bar we walked into - there were two girls from my sixth form in there.
I am more on the side of humans than robots.
I was not a queen bee, ever.
I think 'Humans' has massively improved me as an actor.
I love the make-up trailer. It's a great way to start the day, drinking coffee and singing along to Elvis with the make-up artists. They work wonders on a very sleepy face.
I do think I have a lesser ability to remember facts and names than I have done previously, because you never have to store them; you just look them up again. I could make the same recipe 15 times, but I'll never, ever remember how to make it because I'll just look it up.
I worry that if you see a row of self-checkouts, you think, 'That all used to be jobs and real people.'
You meet people and go, 'We're going to be friends forever!' then you get home and can't even remember their name.
I literally can't get anywhere now without the map on my phone. I used to use an A-Z when I first came to London, and now I really struggle because there's no dot to show where I am. And I think that part of my brain doesn't work any more.
