More quotes by Jessie Buckley

My job is to be human. To make people feel rather than becoming disembodied, disconnected, disengaged.

We probably all have had moments as women where we’ve tried to burn the house down because we’ve not found the space for ourselves to exist in it fully.

I didn't know how to be alive the way I wanted to be, and it was difficult. But I do not for a second regret it, and I think I've been able to transform it and recognise our vulnerabilities as humans in the world.

I loved singing but I just didn’t think I was being challenged enough. I like to be out of my depth — that’s when I learn the most. There was nothing in musicals at the time where I thought I could learn.
