Actors: You don’t need 10 accents under your belt by tomorrow, or to send 50 emails a day to be a successful actor.

Here are the 3 things you DO need though…

Actors: don’t sleep on the privilege of being “unknown”.

Right now you have the FREEDOM to experiment, build and PLAY, without the pressures you adopt irreversibly after becoming well known. Enjoy the gift that it is to be exactly where you are ✨

I don’t believe that going to the cinema is valued nearly highly enough as it should be anymore, but #Wicked was a true reminder of how MAGIC the ceremony of seeing movies at the theatre is 🫧🧹

I’ve woken up and still all I can think about is JUST how good #Wicked actually was. To wait sooo long for a film and for it to then exceed expectations is such a rare thing. 10/10.

I wish I’d seen it at the IMAX where she belongs though!

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Been diving through the Cleo archives…

Still infinitely the coolest thing I have done so far as an actor.

Sorry but this weather is inhumane 🥶

All I’m saying is, you’re overthinking about whether or not you should do it, while someone else is already reaping the benefits of learning through doing it…

Okok sooo I started watching Grey’s for the first time ever in July… and I’m mid way through season 8. I am not ashamed to say these characters are now my family. 🥲

The second I get back to London, all I want is a Nando’s 🤷🏽‍♀️

An actor reached out yesterday to say they had just moved to LDN, but instead of feeling excited and ready to go, they were battling burnout and a total lack of motivation.

They wanted to know if they should just push through and ‘suck it up’, or take it as a sign to QUIT.

Here’s my reply: (1/7)

I can’t believe that Wicked comes out this week and I won’t get to see it til NEXT FRIDAY. 🧹🫧

Paris was absolutely beautiful (even in the rain!) Alas, now that I am in my 30s, I can no longer reasonably describe travelling to any city as a “holiday” 🤣

With agents downsizing, closing or simply hanging on till '25 self-rep can be a necessity for many actors...but it can also be a very positive, effective choice. In answer to many requests I made an affordable downloable guide 👇

Pursuing an acting career can be so incredibly lonely but it just doesn’t have to be.

I don’t often like to toot my own horn, but I really am proud to have created a community where actors can come together and work independently, side-by-side ✨
I’ve just been editing together some testimonials from my acting clients over the last year and I am welling up with gratitude and joy for these humans 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Summ’n about the sound of rain outside when I’m cosy inside makes me feel super reflective. ☔️

Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Me: the Eiffel Tower doesn’t look that impressive from afar

Also me: beaming from ear to ear when I reach her

Actors: it’s a great week to let go of the idea that your success has anything to do with follower counts, being booked back-to-back, or attending press events; vs. being fulfilled in your life all round and building a career within it that you’re proud of ✨

There has been no greater test of my willpower and strength than visiting Paris as a person who cannot eat dairy 😅😭
