Alison Sudol

Music is not something where I felt feminine and so accepting the new definition of femininity is an enormous difficult task. For me, it was quite difficult to tell myself, "Okay I can be beautiful, feminine and strong. Take care of yourself and do not let me down." I've loved it for a while, and I've really enjoyed wearing heels and a dress each day, and having pretty curls and soft materials. My experience as an actress is much more recent than everybody else [in Fantastic Beasts] and there was plenty of pressure coming into it. But during the auditions, I felt that there was this huge force in front of me. It was either I'd crumble beneath the weight of it and fall due to my desire for it. But I also had the option of stepping up and allow it to push me forward. There is a possibility to go on days just walking around, exploring coffee shops, museums, and parks. In LA it is possible to feel alone, but in London it is possible to ride the Tube and you are at the center of the crowd and just about every kind of person who you imagine will be going through. I am awestruck by individuals. As a person who is from music, I'm always surrounded by males. It's like working with guys is intimate. This is a fantastical, wild nightmarish. I have read the entire trilogy. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to study the book while touring. You're constantly changing cities and it can be difficult to stay focused. To be able to disappear into such an intense immersive, vibrant universe from your bunk is really wonderful.
