Emily Berrington

I love the make-up trailer. It's a great way to start the day, drinking coffee and singing along to Elvis with the make-up artists. They work wonders on a very sleepy face.

Auditioning for something you already know and love is terrifying.

I'm old and boring in London and get really tired around midnight. But in Berlin, I had this new lease of life because there's something electric about the place.

I always thought that at the very time of your life when you want to be cool and sexy and fascinating, you are none of those things. You are a hormonal muddle in your school uniform sitting in double science looking at a boy who you know will never notice you. That was definitely me; I was so shy at school.

I never thought I'd end up doing comedy, but actually, it's been something I've really relished the challenge of and ended up doing quite a bit of.

Humans' would definitely score really well on the Bechdel test - the one that tracks how well represented women are in drama.

Even things like supermarket self-checkouts, they do mean people's jobs go. It's always worth thinking about the implications of things. Just because something's easier, it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do.

I am more on the side of humans than robots.

I think 'Humans' has massively improved me as an actor.

I definitely, really appreciate that quality that humans like to show constantly, even without saying anything, that they're with you and they're processing something.

If there is an option to use a real human being and to have a chat with somebody and do your shopping that way, I do try and do that.

I've taken that with me since working with him; in order to be William Hurt, you have use every moment like he does.
