Alison Sudol

It was difficult to be a woman in the field I was thinking of as very masculine. For me, it was very difficult to say, "Okay I can be confident, feminine, and gentle. Be careful of your appearance and don't diminish yourself." It was great enjoyment to dress in heels, a dress and have soft fabric and curls all day long. I'm much younger than everyone else in Fantastic Beasts] and there was a lot of pressure that I had to face. There was this unsettling feeling during the auditions that there was a massive pressure on me. It seemed like I might either be smashed under it and crumble because of how much I hoped to get it and how massive this was as well as climb up on onto it and let it pull me up. You can go for days walking, going to museums, parks and coffee shops and simply observing the individuals. London is a city where it is a place where you can be surrounded by other people. In LA it's not always a crowded and yet, you're in the middle of everything. I love watching people. Being from the world of music, I'm always in contact by males. The feeling of working with guys is intimate. The book was a dream fulfilled for me. It was a pleasure being able to enjoy the books while on tour. It's always changing places which makes it difficult to focus. To be able to disappear into such an intense visual universe inside your bedroom is something truly wonderful.
