Ruth Bradley Quotes

'The Wire' is my all-time favourite show. It takes its time, and it doesn't spoon-feed the viewer.
A friend of mine told me she's going to freeze her eggs, and I thought, 'Well, I also don't want to be a 55-year-old first time mother,' so you kind of just have to go with what happens.
All too often, female characters, in particular, aren't multi-layered enough.
I consider myself lucky to be going about my business doing something I love.
I did a film a few years ago where I gained a lot of weight for it. I was happy to do that because it was called for in the script.
I didn't know my mother was an actress until I was eight and she went back to work. At an even younger age than that, I'd wanted to be an actress, so when I saw her, I clearly remember thinking, 'This is a strange coincidence.'
I don't know any woman who's one dimensional, not a single one.
I live in trainers and baggy clothes, but on the red carpet, I either go for something very pretty from Temperley London or a structured Roland Mouret dress.
I love working in Dublin, but when I'm in London, I'm more focused on my career.
I never get recognised. I must have one of those forgettable faces, ha! And that's not a bad thing.
I really enjoy 'Mad Men,' but I'm hugely into 'Homeland.' The characters are very well drawn and complex.
I saw 'The Help' on DVD. I was blown away by Viola Davis: she really straddled that fine line in the plot between what was tragic and what was heart-warming.
I think when you work with older actors, who are so good, it's rare that they are egotistical.
I think, so often, women play supporting roles or girlfriends or wives - they're there to support a man's journey.
I wouldn't do really gratuitous nudity. When I was in my late teens, you'd read stuff and be like, 'That character serves no purpose except being naked', so that would not be something I'd want to do. It's pointless for me.
I'm only ambitious in the sense that I want to work in as many different media as I can and to play characters which are different to me and to each other. I want to do work that frightens me or challenges me, be it in Dublin or Zimbabwe. I just want to be working.
If you think about it, there's very little about young families on TV, and yet there's so many of them.
If you're aware of a pattern, you can do something about it, and you can be aware of your own culpability. I like to think I can do that, but, like everyone else, I'm a work in progress.
In an ideal world, we would be able to just swap characters' genders around because I don't ever wake up in the morning and think to myself, 'Oh I am such a woman today,' because that is just so ridiculous.
In any good piece of writing, it should be easy enough to switch genders.
