Bruna, 20. I like tv shows, musicals, and crying over fictional characters. Multifandom mess. // studyblr: brunastudies
Remember when Hayley Atwell FELL OFF A DAMN TREE
“I don’t know if it’s legal, that my passport picture is actually me as Peggy Carter.”
Someone said to me, ‘Would you like to play a Bond girl one day?’ I was like, ‘Hell no. I’d rather play Bond.’ So, when someone said, ‘Do you want to be the Doctor’s companion?’ I was like, ‘No, I want to be the Doctor.’
Why do I think strong female characters are rare in film? There are many reasons, I think strong women can be intimidating. I think it’s even more rare to show the complexities and vulnerabilities of women who are initially perceived as strong. And it’s kind of lovely to be able to play someone like Peggy, who tries to explore that, in a still very male-dominated world.
‘’Peggy was in a position where if she was a damsel in distress, she wouldn’t be of that position. And when she says, “I know what it’s like to have a few doors slammed in my face,” I think because she’s this attractive woman who’s beautifully made up, she had to fight a little bit harder to get where she is to prove that she’s capable. And I think that’s great because there’s a kindred spirit between her and Steve, there’s an equality about them and I love that.’’
happy 34th birthday, hayley elizabeth atwell! (april 5th, 1982)
know your value. i think to fully embrace who you are, with every aspect of what that is: the good, the bad, the ugly. there’s no such thing as perfection, and that’s, i think, the beauty and potential of human beings is we have the capacity for greatness and we have the capacity for darkness and it’s up to us decide which path we want to take.
“My real self, the self I have always been from a child, is a loner and nerd, slightly overweight, with a very heavy fringe. That is who I was as a kid. I don’t think I will ever be anything other than that.“
