Every role sort of teaches you how to prepare for it.

At the beginning of every role I take, I have to start from basics and build it up. It's like a new construction.

My preparation is mainly just knowing the lines and getting in and knowing where your character is, knowing what it's about and having ideas that you can put in on the day.

For me, my role is about unleashing what people already have inside them that is maybe suppressed in most work environments.

All the things you can do to prepare for a role that free you, in the moment, are great. You have this muscle memory for things. You don't have to act it as much, once you've done it enough.

I always feel I can play a role - just give me the time to do the preparation and I'll be it.

I feel really good in the teacher role.

I'm a working-class person, working with class.
