I have to say that filming 'The Night Manager' was not just amazing but also very daunting at first. I used to describe myself as the token plebeian surrounded by all your national treasures.

Acting is a craft to me: I just think you get better the more you do it. And then the irony to that is your doing it is not in your control. If it was up to most actors, we'd work all the time, and we'd always get better. But it's not in our control, so we have to wait to be given parts to do. Elizabeth Debicki

Work Time Me You Better Wait Control Think Our Given More Most Parts Always Doing Up Get Irony Craft Just Then Acting Your Actor
