Alison Sudol

It was clear that music is a unfeminine space to be in as such, and therefore embracing this degree of femininity has been an interesting and challenging experience for me. It's really hard for me to think, "Okay, I can be feminine, soft, and tough and be able to take care of me and not shrink my self-esteem." I've loved it quite a bit, I've loved dressing in heels and dresses each day, and having gorgeous curls, and the softest fabrics. My experience as an actress is much more recent that everyone else Fantastic Beasts] and there was quite a bit of pressure coming into it. However, I was struck by this odd feeling that during the auditions there was a huge power behind me. I may either fall under it and crumble due to how badly I hoped to get it and how huge this seemed as well as climb up on the top and let it pull me upwards. You can spend the whole day walking around taking in coffee shops, museums, and parks. In LA there is a possibility of being alone, but in London you are able to take the Tube and find yourself in the thick of humanity and just about every kind of person who you imagine will be moving on. I am awestruck by individuals. When you work in the industry of music there is a constant presence of men. The feeling is that you have to be in intimate situations with women all the time. This is a wild surreal dream for me, I've read every one of the books. I read some of the novels on tour which is really wonderful to have that kind of universe that one can retreat to in the midst of a tour, you're always moving from city to city which can be extremely disorienting. And then being able to escape to an incredibly vivid and vibrant world when you sleep in your bunk can be quite enchanting.
