Words matter. These are the best Ruth Bradley Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
There is so much room for gender-neutral characters.
I really enjoy ‘Mad Men,’ but I’m hugely into ‘Homeland.’ The characters are very well drawn and complex.
I love working in Dublin, but when I’m in London, I’m more focused on my career.
My job is not to be a supermodel.
I’m only ambitious in the sense that I want to work in as many different media as I can and to play characters which are different to me and to each other. I want to do work that frightens me or challenges me, be it in Dublin or Zimbabwe. I just want to be working.
I don’t know any woman who’s one dimensional, not a single one.

I saw ‘The Help’ on DVD. I was blown away by Viola Davis: she really straddled that fine line in the plot between what was tragic and what was heart-warming.
I wouldn’t do really gratuitous nudity. When I was in my late teens, you’d read stuff and be like, ‘That character serves no purpose except being naked’, so that would not be something I’d want to do. It’s pointless for me.
I think, so often, women play supporting roles or girlfriends or wives – they’re there to support a man’s journey.
We’re all a result of our early years and our nature and nurture.
All too often, female characters, in particular, aren’t multi-layered enough.
I think when you work with older actors, who are so good, it’s rare that they are egotistical.
