I’m grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored – I’ve done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
I’ve been so lucky with the people I’ve worked with, but I’m such a fan girl. When I moved to London at 16, I saw a man from a Dulux advert on the bus, and I asked for his autograph. I was so excited; you can imagine what I’m like now – I really need to control myself. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
Not having gone to drama school, I always feel like a bit of a fraud, but so far it looks as though I’ve not been found out. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
I’m really grateful to my parents for having the confidence in me to let me go. I was terrified I might have to slink back to the village with my tail between my legs, and treated every job as though it were my last – I still do – but fortunately, I got work and things seemed to slot into place. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
I certainly never get above my station – my family would soon slap me back down to earth. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
I live in Selfridges because it has everything under one roof. Liberty’s is great for the same reason – I’m so lazy, I hate walking from shop to shop. Powder in Crouch End always has great designer labels in, so when I walk past I have to put my blinkers on because every time I nip in I come out with too much stuff; it’s dangerous. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
When I saw ‘Legally Blonde’ on Broadway, I rang my agent and said ‘I want to be seen for this,’ but the rest weren’t big choices, really. ‘Hedda Gabler’ was a phone call offering it to me, and as I’ve said before quite embarrassingly, I didn’t know the play, so I didn’t sit there thinking ‘I would now like to tackle Ibsen.’ Sheridan Smith Read Quote
Kathy Burke has been a real inspiration. I think she’s brilliant. I like the fact she doesn’t care what she looks like on TV and just gets really into character. Obviously, she can do drama as well, but it’s her comedy I love. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
People can never work out where they know me from. They just come up and chat with me like mates. Sheridan Smith Read Quote
