“2022 was the most momentous year of my life in terms of milestones. But for me, every day of 2023 is surprising. Every day is a new day with my daughter, and every day is a new day experiencing a new gesture or a new expression. I keep saying the most important thing I’ve learned is patience. I’ve always been a very impatient person, and if it’s p...
“I just really enjoyed the fact that her name meant so many beautiful things in different languages. It means peace in Arabic, it means joy in Swahili, it means path in Hindi. They all kind of feel like the same thing. We call her different nicknames, but I like calling her pumpkin and pudding and pumpkin latte and cappuccino. I call her the most r...
“I’m not superficial. I find it very hard to go to parties and make small talk. I’m like, ‘Okay, we’re not talking to each other, you know, with any kind of seriousness. This conversation is not gonna matter.’ It’s why I’m very bad at gatherings with more than seven people. I’m very awkward. I’m rarely buzzing, which is why my wedding also had just...
“People in the entertainment industry, we live in a lot of fear. ‘Oh, I shouldn’t say this because then people won’t like me, I shouldn’t do this because it could be the wrong move. I shouldn’t do this because I won’t be safe.’ But you can’t live in fear. I’m an actor, and only being a part of good films will matter to my career. What I do beyond t...
“You would never ask a man a question about whether having a baby at the peak of his career was a brave decision. I’m being asked, ‘Are you willing to cut your pace down because you’re having a family?’ But to me, that’s okay. Maybe after working for 10 years at a certain pace, I felt that, okay, maybe I can cut that down and be a mum. I feel like ...
“I have many thoughts [on cancel culture]. I also have many opinions. But I also feel like the world is full of opinions right now. So, I think the kind of person I want to be is one that keeps my opinions to myself, and leads with kindness and silence. Because we’re missing a lot of that. And yeah, I do feel people are very quick to judge. But the...
“Well, yes and no, because being very in touch with your emotions is great. But being too aware of every single thing loses a certain magic. I think there is wonder in imperfection. And there’s a nice flavour to something raw and unfinished as opposed to something [too] proper. So, yeah, it’s important to know who you are, but whether you’re an act...
“I think you have to really go and find it. And I’m not saying find that stillness by taking a holiday in some faraway land and say, ‘I’m going to go and find myself.’ If you can’t find yourself in your bathroom, you’re not going to find yourself anywhere. I found that I was spending a lot of time on my phone, just faffing. But I put in a system wh...
“I think it’s to let things go. I find that people just hold on to too much. ‘How can she say that? Why did he do that?’ No, let it go. I just feel like people hold on to things for too long. And I think I have always moved on very quickly from any kind of discomfort. I don’t hold grudges. I only have love to give.”
“It has definitely come up a lot in conversation over the last couple of years. The long and short of it is, I empathise. I understand that it’s possibly been easier for me to get through the door than maybe the next person. And I compare my dreams to another person’s dreams: no dream is bigger or smaller, or more intense. Everybody’s dreams are th...
