I think when a couple stays together, it's because of compromises they've both made. Alice Lowe compromisecouplehave Change image and share on social
Confidence in a bloke would be arrogance in a woman. For years, I didn't give interviews because I was scared of people judging me or thinking I was arrogant. Alice Lowe arrogancearrogantbloke Change image and share on social
Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that's the most important relationship in their lives. Alice Lowe fraughtimportantlive Change image and share on social
I studied classics, and I find it mystifying that we had Medea and Electra and Antigone and all these amazing characters, and they don't really exist in cinema now. The only person who's really doing it, and he gets loads of criticism for it, is Lars Von Trier. Alice Lowe amazeantigonecharacter share on social
I don't understand why people don't use improvisation, especially in comedy films, but also, for me, you get more naturalism, and that's why I like the naturalistic performances and strange rhythms and the way that people genuinely interact captured rather than sort of very mannered performances.

In film, you're painting a canvas. I got really excited about that. Alice Lowe canvasexcitefilm Change image and share on social
I love doing comedy, and that's the thing I will always go back to, really, but I'd love to have the freedom to do sort of 'meaty' roles but also have the freedom to do the sort of films I want to make, like what Woody Allen does. You forget he's funny because you're so gripped by the story, but they still make you laugh. Alice Lowe allenbackcomedy share on social
I was in something called 'Garth Marenghi's Darkplace' which was a real cult comedy; it's sort of a spoof horror sort of thing, and it only ever had one series, but I liked the fact that it only had one series because it's kind of got this little gemlike quality to it that there were only ever six episodes.

I think 'Sightseers' was a bit of an epiphany, a massive learning curve, and it gave me loads of confidence to go out there, and also to create a female character which is completely unexpected and defies convention. Alice Lowe bitecharactercompletely share on social
We pitched 'Sightseers' as a TV idea originally, and it was rejected because it was too dark. But then things like 'Dexter' came out, 'Breaking Bad'... There are so many sophisticated dramas now with comic elements to them. Alice Lowe badbreakcomic share on social
