People assumed that I wasn't open to doing TV, probably because I was doing a film and reality shows. I have become choosy and want to take up substantial roles.
The entertainment industry is humungous, and people have so many choices right now - they can watch web series, movies, stand-up comedies, and plays.
My mom and dad were divorced, and although they got along very well, my mom thought American television was reprehensible, so I was raised on the BBC. I kind of agreed with her. We watched American news, though.
The only movies I saw till I was 17 were made by Disney. My parents had this thing. Disney was like, you know, "Ford is a good car. Disney makes good movies that are good for kids and safe."
I had never seen 'Vogue.' I didn't read fashion magazines, I read 'Time' and 'Newsweek.'
As a parent, you're struggling to find stuff that you think is suitable for the kids, but also stuff that you'd like to watch with them.
I actually didn't think I was going to do TV because I don't really watch TV. I'm a little bit pretentious, and I do these little indie movies, so I envisioned that more as the path for myself.
You can't be too choosy except in the case of period drama.
