I can't wait til I get the chance to be a character and how my face looks isn't the first consideration.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To me, it's really not about how I look - it's about who I can be. It is my job to bring the character to life and my duty to fit into the jigsaw in that story.
When I read a character that I really, really love, I know immediately what they look like. It's like I want to 100 percent become that person.
There aren't as many roles for people who look like me, and it was always complicated when it came to casting my parents. But now I couldn't be more grateful that I have a different look.
All the characters I've ever played have really had nothing to do with looks. There's a lot of things that are a lot more interesting to me to play than that.
Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.
Never say never. I always want to look like myself - that's key for me. I don't want to look like a different person, I don't want my face frozen.
I, Lesley, I like looking nice. I like doing my hair and wearing makeup and wearing nice clothes. But I don't care what my characters look like.
When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.
With a face like mine, I'm never going to play a character who conquers the universe, I'm going to play characters who are subject to forces bearing down on them. My career's based on how we are rather than how we wish we were - they get the good-looking boys in for that kind of role.
