Growing up, I never thought about becoming an actress because I never saw deaf people in TV or movies. I didn't think it was possible.

I want to study philosophy. That fascinates me.

I was in several school performances, mainly Shakespeare and comedic roles. I just accidentally became an actor. I totally didn't expect this.

I think signing gave 'A Quiet Place' a unique quality. I think sign language is represented as beautiful and helpful.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

Some of my best friends here in New York have pasts I have a hard time reconciling with the people I'm close to now. But I wouldn't change them - or their pasts - for anything in the world. Their experiences are what made them the people they are today.

There was really no friendship in modeling, though a certain amount of warmth comes from running into models you know on shoots, because you end up in so many unfamiliar places, from Alaska to Africa.

What I say about 'This Is England' is they're like my best friends back home. Normal, working-class, beautiful people who I'm creative with.
