Quotes
“For me, a big part of acting is reacting and just that kind of internal journey that characters go through, whether it be through a scene or through an entire season of a show.”
“I hope we’ve done queerness justice.”
“I completely understand the idea that they want authentic queer representation, and therefore ideally would like to know the sexuality of who’s playing the role. I completely agree that authenticity is something that should be strived for.”
“People can get a bit too comfortable on social media. To speculate about a person’s sexuality is so dangerous, especially for someone at my age of 18, it’s a bit strange for me to see.”
“Acting was always my passion, but I think I’d resigned myself to the fact it wasn’t going to happen. […] The way that people trying to break into the industry are treated by society is so sh*tty and hard.”
“I’ve lost a lot of my childhood in many ways, [but] I don’t regret it at all.”
