Quotes
Drama school was a lifeline for me. I found it very nurturing – I just clung on.

Your imagination can limit you because you're controlling it. Your idea of what it should be can actually be holding you back.

Happiness doesn't mean what you think is going to make you happy. It is so constantly in flux and so hard to achieve. That's the mystery behind it.
Lily James, CC BY-SA 4.0
We are trying always to be happy, but unhappiness is just as real, just as important an emotion. And if you are closing yourself off from it, you are closing yourself off from other people.

You have to let everything affect you, everything hit your nerves, so you can perform. So it feels as if you’re constantly trying to guard yourself or let people in, put walls up or break them down.
