I loved playing the headmistress in ‘The Falling’ – she was so spiteful. She certainly fancied herself quite a lot. Monica Dolan Read Quote
I’m very much a believer in the character always heading for something or after something. But that doesn’t always have to be a selfish thing – it could be an altruistic thing as well. You can’t play good; you can’t play evil. But you have to think: what does this person want to happen in this situation? Monica Dolan Read Quote
A really useful quality to have as an actor is a lack of self-awareness. I try and get into the character’s thinking, and some of them just aren’t really that bothered about how they come across or aware of how they come across. Monica Dolan Read Quote
