Karla Crome

I briefly flirted with the idea of more stable career choices but they never excited me. I know it's a bit of a cliche but I remember doing school plays in primary school and feeling at home on the stage.

Certainty regarding your career aged 15 is very unusual.

I've got to be honest, with every job I do there's a part of me, that child in me, that goes, 'This is the one.' And it rarely actually is.

I read somewhere that people who make lists are more likely to achieve their ambitions.

It's really important that people don't view success as a competition.

There are decisions I could have made, moves I could have made, that would have got me seen more. I do it because I enjoy the craft and the challenge of trying to make something that doesn't exist come alive, and that's what I'm in it for.

It should be very normal to see people of different races and ethnic minorities playing different parts.

In an ideal world, I would constantly be doing different characters in different worlds.

I've not been able to finish any project where I haven't had other people involved making me do it really.

I don't think comedic parts come naturally to me.

I think Dennis Kelly's a really good writer.

I'm not much of a risk taker, I'm more of an arty farty person.
