I read recently that someone set up a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Robots in America. The idea being that if something robotic can have responsibilities then it should also have rights. Emily Berrington Read Quote
I’ve never loved a character as much as I do Niska. The way she’s been written is so complex, with huge amounts of light and dark. It’s a really satisfying challenge to play someone who is superhuman in their intelligence and physical ability but completely naive when it comes to certain aspects of life.

As far as I’m aware, you can’t tell if something is going to be successful. Brilliant scripts often don’t get picked up, and terrible ones do all the time! Emily Berrington Read Quote
I knew, the second I read ‘Humans,’ that no matter how successful the show was, the script was superb and like nothing else I’d ever seen. Emily Berrington Read Quote
Even things like supermarket self-checkouts, they do mean people’s jobs go. It’s always worth thinking about the implications of things. Just because something’s easier, it doesn’t mean that it’s the right thing to do. Emily Berrington Read Quote
I imagine if you’re one of those genius people working on AI, the desire to find out what’s possible is presumably the driving factor, but I hope there are just as many people who are thinking about what we actually want. Just because something’s possible it doesn’t mean it’s going to be good to us. Emily Berrington Read Quote
I’m really rubbish with technology; I’m super backward! I think I got a mobile phone last out of all my friends. I really worried about people being able to get hold of me at any time – I really hated that idea. Emily Berrington Read Quote
I do think I have a lesser ability to remember facts and names than I have done previously, because you never have to store them; you just look them up again. I could make the same recipe 15 times, but I’ll never, ever remember how to make it because I’ll just look it up. Emily Berrington Read Quote
I definitely, really appreciate that quality that humans like to show constantly, even without saying anything, that they’re with you and they’re processing something. Emily Berrington Read Quote
A family is definitely in my future, but I have no idea when. I don’t know how people fit it in with an acting career, but they do. Katherine Parkinson is a great example of that, so I’ll have to ask her. Emily Berrington Read Quote
