Jessica Raine's quotes

  • [on filming Call the Midwife (2012)] After filming, I can't wait to shake off all that '50s primness. I'll go out to a gig and dance ridiculously. I love to lose myself in music. Just letting go - it's dead important.
  • I did an A Level in Theatre Studies and had a really inspirational teacher, and then I just went on to university.
  • I have a really adaptable face, but when I am just being me, people always think I am younger than I am.
  • On stage, I find anger at the unfairness of the world easily.
  • You know that book 'Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking', by Susan Cain? That's like my manifesto. The older I get, the more I think I could be a hermit.
  • I have a lot of Breton striped top and silk shirts that always feel good. I also like things with a masculine edge and dislike anything too girly.
  • I find that women want to tell me about their birthing experiences. In the most excruciating detail. It's not put me off having children, but I do feel like I know too much.
  • I always knew that the only thing I wanted to do was act, but it took me a long time to say it out loud to anyone, let alone myself. I am surprised by how dogged I have been in wanting to make a living as a respected actress.
  • My first acting experience was a non-speaking role as a robot. My costume was a cardboard box covered in tinfoil, but I was so shy I refused to go on stage.
  • I'm certainly not squeamish at all. The countryside makes you very aware of birth and death.
  • It's amazing what it opens up in women when you tell them you've just played a midwife.
  • I grew up just outside Hay-on-Wye, on the borders of Wales, on a farm. It was an amazing childhood, but I got a bit stir crazy when I hit my teens. There was the feeling of having to get out, you know, but it was definitely idyllic.
  • I was always told at school I was posh, then I came to London, and here I'm told I have a country accent.
  • I don't want to sound too bleeding heart, because I know how lucky I've been, but I never knew how hard it was to be the lead in a television show.
  • I would like to explore comedy, I want to do more theatre, and I definitely want a future in film. I love science-fiction.
  • I am not posh. I went to a comprehensive school.
  • The first time I had to hold a baby, I was really nervous, but I soon grew in confidence.
  • For any role, I pretty much always go to the script, first and foremost.
  • I hadn't realized what an institution Doctor Who (1963) is.
  • I've not stopped going on public transport. I love going on it.
  • The most common place I get stopped by fans is the ladies'.
  • My fondest memories are of watching lambs being delivered.
  • You have that moment just before you go on - I've had it in every play - where you just kind of want to run away. There's a whole audience, and they are waiting outside, and you're like, 'Why am I doing this again? Why? Why?'
  • It was a very idyllic childhood, surrounded by utterly beautiful landscapes that I got very, very bored of when I hit my teens. But being on your own a lot and being bored is good for your imagination. It makes it stretch.
