MORFYDD CLARK

For some reason, the only Swedish I know how to say is, 'There is no toilet paper.'

My dyslexia means I can't read for long periods or the letters start moving around on the page, giving me headaches.

I want men to be asking to play great female parts!

I was always far more into anything creative that called for a bit of active participation, like reading aloud in class. Then, having left school shortly after my GCSEs, I auditioned for the National Youth Theatre of Wales and the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain as well as the Welsh National Youth Opera. I ended up getting into all three.

The theatre world is so starved of funds, and that's unfortunately reflected in the pay.

My family was always really encouraging, but acting was always something I thought was a bit of a pipe dream.

I think the biggest lesson I have learned is not to get too anxious about your work.

I think, in the past, you could buy a flat and live comfortably on theatre and touring theatre, but you can't do that anymore, which means that you have to have a certain amount of celebrity and profile to, therefore, get TV and film work.

I think my mum is courageous.

I've done two Shakespeare tragedies, so I'd desperately like to do comedy. It would be nice not to die.

I wish Wales was more represented on the British stage, and I have missed that being in London.

I had always seen myself doing theatre, as I don't come from an acting background, so that was my first way into acting, I suppose.

I think you have lots of actors who would much rather do a wonderful part at the Royal Shakespeare Company, but then you have to take a two-line part in a TV thing to pay the bills.

I wasn't great in class and suffered from dyslexia and ADHD; still do. As a result I could never sit in class listening quietly, and my attention would inevitably end up wandering after a short while.

I'm good at forgetting auditions, and then there is a surprise to getting something.

Apparently, when I was really little, I watched the film version of 'The Secret Garden' and thought it was, like, the best thing ever.

When on stage, I have good concentration. When I don't find something interesting, I can't concentrate.

I actually came out of drama school and went into two years of working in film and television, which was a happy accident.
