Quote of the Day: CONSTELLATIONS star Ruth Wilson on playing meaty parts...
"For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I'm more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going."
-- Ruth Wilson (via BrainyQuote)
