Because of my job, my hair gets played with a lot on set, so I try to give it little bit of breathing space when I'm not working.
From Gugu Mbatha-Raw
I do a lot of yoga, and when I'm in L.A., I have an outdoorsy sort of lifestyle. It's sort of comfortable, West Coast, yoga chic.
When I'm not working, I'm really, really low key. I don't wear makeup unless I have to; I don't get my hair done unless I really need to.
The actors that inspire me are the comedians and the people able to shape-shift into different roles and into different media.
I try not to define myself. Other people are going to do that for you anyway.
I like being free to take on any project that inspires me and to trust that the work will speak for itself.
I played Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz.' That was my first role on stage.
I just love performing so much, and I threw myself into every musical theater production that was going in my home town and at school. And then, I went to the National Youth Music Theatre, which was really a galvanizing experience for me when I was 17.
I was so thrilled to be in 'Doctor Who.' It's such a wonderful experience, and the fan base that that show has never fails to surprise me.
In 2009, I was living in London and getting work I enjoyed.
