Alison Sudol

It was an uphill task to accept the feminine side of something I thought of as masculine. It's been a struggle for me to go, "Okay, I can be soft and feminine and strong and take care of myself without reducing my self-esteem." I've really enjoyed it quite a bit, I've really enjoyed wearing heels and dresses everyday and sporting these gorgeous curls, and the softest fabrics. It was very stressful because I'm not as old as the other actors in Fantastic Beasts]; there is a great deal of pressure. There was this unsettling feeling during the auditions that there was a huge presence behind me. may either fall under it and collapse due to how badly I wished for it and how big this was as well as climb up on top of it and let it propel me up. The idea of spending a day in museums, caf s, parks, or taking a walk and observing the crowds is something that I really enjoy. In LA you can be quite lonely, however in London you can take the Tube and be within the midst of people and everyone who you imagine will be walking on. I am awestruck by individuals. In the music industry, you are constantly around people. You feel as if there is a need to be in intimate situations with men all of the time. The books were a dream to come true for myself. It was a pleasure to have the ability to read the novels while traveling. There are always new cities to visit which can make it hard to concentrate. But to retreat in such a vibrant, vivid universe in your bunk is really wonderful.
