"Part of what I find depressing about England is that, rather than being upset with the wider forces that make your life horrible, you're encouraged to look at your neighbour like, 'He's making £10 too much a week on his benefits, and I'm going to report that f***er'. When I read a tabloid occasionally, I feel that being stoked — you're supposed to hate someone who has a tiny bit more than you to avoid having to look at why you don't have enough for yourself."

"Though there is more I could say on this – details that would both elicit sympathy and make me look like a spoiled little shit – that was all there really was to it. The slow, boring poison of drink and secret-keeping, spread out into every part of my life, so that nothing was safe or good any more. Until I woke up one day and realised I could not remember the last time I had read a book."

"Almost as soon as I began, I was lost. The idea of getting up each day and going to class, of learning over and over again that I was stupid, and crass, and incompetent, did not seem doable. It hadn't occurred to me that I was there to learn, to become less stupid. I felt I had failed already, fumbled the opening pass. I had arrived to university quite mad already and quickly became exuberantly so, drinking litres of gin by night and lying in bed, shaking with fear, all day long. It wasn't laziness, exactly, that stopped me trying to work, but that fear. It lay immobile on my chest. All of Dublin, but especially Trinity, felt corrupted by some malign force that I couldn't break through."

"I've lived in London for three years. I hadn't spent much time in Britain before my arrival and had no particular feelings toward the English. I expected them to react to me with similar neutrality. What I didn't expect was the toxic mix of dismissal and casual disdain. It would have been easier, perhaps, if it was all as overt as potato jokes. But what kills you is the ignorance; what grinds you down is how much they don’t know about the past and, if they do know, how little they care. It's a strange and maddening thing to discover about the people who shaped your country’s fate and who are poised to do so again."

"In the midst of all this, I've noticed a tonal shift in the way I and other Irish people speak about the English. Our anger is more sincere. We are more ready to call them out on all those centuries of excess, more likely to object to those pink-trousered, pink-faced dinosaurs who still perceive us as their inferiors."

"I grew up a somewhere. Now I am an anywhere. Sometimes that disconnect gives me a rootless feeling: an odd vertigo I can't quite nail down. There is, of course, another phrase for it: liberal metropolitan elite. Nobody who has heard the vicious punishments an Ivers government would hand out to people who drive motorbikes without silencers would describe me as liberal. And I suspect actual elites have functioning kettles."

"It is hard to be a conspiracy theorist as a political journalist. Spend enough time staring into the heart of the institutions that run this country, and talking to the people who run those institutions, and the idea that any of them would be capable of pulling off an elaborate masterplan of the type espoused by the crankier parts of the internet becomes laughable."

"I’m always quite fond of Canadian greats. I was probably too young when I got onboard the Cronenberg train, but I remember watching the Dead Ringers film for the first time. I think I knew I was a bit strange when I watched The Fly, but that solidified it for me because I loved it."

"Conor Leslie made a comment in passing to me that I now say to everyone I meet: You could be the most brilliant shade of orange, but they want blue, and there’s nothing you can do about it, so release it. Another one, from an interview with Bryan Cranston: Auditioning is your job until you book a job, and when that job is done, auditioning is your job again. Mentally, it can release you from a lot."

"Dance has been a huge grounding thing for me because I feel so deeply,"

"This is really embarrassing to say, but it’s sincere, “One of the reasons [I became an actor] was because maybe I could get famous enough to meet the Jonas Brothers one day.”"

"I feel shame a lot because of how sensitive I am, how much I feel and how much I can be, whether my happy moments are just so big and they overwhelm or annoy or embarrass other people, or if it’s just too much for a friend to hear Haley having a hard time again"

"It goes back to sonic frequency and how that can translate energetically and get me in my body. I have a dance background, and I was in choir growing up. I used to be very shy, so I’d express myself through movement and sound. I always end up going back to that as my safe comfort place."

"It was really crazy, though, because when I got the audition for the show, it didn’t exist"

"There's nothing wrong with wearing makeup and hair extensions to feel pretty, but you can't get lost in all of it."

"Gwen Stefani is a fearless rocker who can wear the same boyfriend jeans and sneaker wedges over and over but make them look different every time"

"I’m in a space for releasing more music. I’ve been in my bag, but I’ve been in the lab just working"

"My mom put me in dance at four, I started writing music at ten, and it has always been a super passion of mine."

"I’m really just a normal girl doing what I love."

""Acting in the Northern Nigeria is a problem because our people see is a profession that isn’t normal for ladies to take up. Thankfully, all that is changing and today I am so proud that I am like a role model to others.""

"". I also avoid getting entangled in things that will create scandals for me as an actress""

"I strongly believe in equal opportunities and working towards eliminating gender inequality."

"Always stand your ground on what is right/wrong whether people love you or hate you for it...People are going to talk regardless."

"When I'm with someone, I try to hide a little and keep a low profile because I really don't like people to know. “I am very well alone, but I have been alone in Europe for four months and the truth is I would love to share this moment of my life with someone ,”"

"Sometimes you are with new friends, or with people who... Yes, of course ,""

"Sometimes it hurts me a little when, for example, they are surprised because I was with Carlos Tévez, as if it were difficult . And the truth is that I have beautiful memories of him, of all my ex-boyfriends. "They were all good people,""

"If there is a faithful boyfriend, who is listening to the radio at this moment, I am looking for a partner .""

"I haven't even been with someone for four months. “I would like to have a partner ,” the actress began in dialogue with Catalina Dlugi in her radio series broadcast by La Once Diez"

"Let’s start being kind to one another, because only when we join hands will the world become a better place for the both of us."

"Be strong but not rude. Be kind but not weak. Be bold but don’t bully. Be humble but not timid. Be confident but not arrogant."

"As an actor, one’s job is to be the character and deliver it perfectly."

"You will get there. Just trust God and He would direct you."

"If you ever wish to be something, I wish that you will choose to be you, choose a better version of yourself and not someone else."

"Everyone’s got their own issues going on. Do good, and expect nothing in return."

"To have a dream, one has to see oneself as being successful."

"The future belongs to those young people, because they still have a lot of time, they haven't achieved a lot, but the older generation have already achieved so much and (climate change) probably won't be so much their problem."

"Climate change is here already. The good news is that we have the facts and solutions with us. Climate change is a health issue, it is an education issue and it affects everyone. Fighting for climate justice is fighting for humanity."

"Every one should advocate for climate justice because climate change affects all of us; the young and old, no matter how much you contribute."

"You don't have to do something big to change the world. Start by doing a small act like reading and informing yourself about what is happening around you."

"It is very important to be yourself, know who you are and being true to yourself when it comes to Nollywood and life."

"If you are a young person eager to learn, passion will take you very far because passion will drive you to show up to things that you can learn from."

"If you are passionate about acting, go for it, it will be tough but enjoy it and make sure you are keeping tab on your ways."

"Everything is turn by turn, your time will come"

"The story makes sense. Speaks to the audience and it have positive impact."

"Because who will be for you, will be for you regardless. The journey is a forever thing."

"If you are good at what you do then your market will make way for you even without effort."

"One can never know too much. One should always be ready to learn. Be very patient and consistent. One also needs to be open to criticisms."

"There is a process called growth. One should not expect to start earning what an A-list actor gets paid from when one gets into the industry."

"The full package of being a good actor is that one can embrace any character. There could be challenges sometimes, but one cannot be considered a good actor without being bold enough to explore one’s skills at length."
