Quotes from Jodie Comer

I don't think talent or an instinct for acting is something you can teach.

I'd love to do something where I have to completely transform. Or something that is very physical and would test me with discipline in that way. Something that I'd maybe have to train for.

I feel like when you perform in a period drama, it's so easy to transform yourself into someone else because the costumes are so different.

Yoga really destresses me.

I don't know if it's the way I've been brought up or if it's because I spend so much time away that I appreciate being at home so much.

I was a natural drama queen when I was younger. I was always doing impersonations and showing off.

I don't speak any other languages, which I'm kind of ashamed about, actually.

When you wear the costumes in a period drama, you already feel like a different person - the clothes make you stand differently, change your posture, the way you walk. You really have to have stamina - you have two hours in hair and makeup, and then another hour to remove all that.

My mum used to always say to me, 'What's meant for you won't pass you by,' and it's true. If I didn't get something, it wasn't meant for me.

I feel, in drama, you don't need to be fed everything. Even though sometimes when you watch, you want to know what happened and you want to see it, I feel like sometimes it's so much stronger to see the effects that those actions have had.

I always find with dramas that the more that's left to the imagination of the audience, the better.
