In a recent interview with RSVP Magazine, she said: “I had my eye on the screen but not necessarily the small screen. “From the age of nine I wanted to be an actor, that was my dream, I did all the drama exams but my dad wasn’t too keen on me doing it in college so I did a degree in film and broadcasting so it was a cunning plan, I was going to cast myself in movies I directed.“But then I got working in radio and got bitten by the radio bug and then ended up in broadcasting.
But acting was my first love and I still practise my Oscar speech in the mirror at home.”The Cork native has now revealed that, after a difficult few years, she is ready to make her return to acting this summer.She said: “At this point in my life, you never know what the future is going to bring, the world is so chaotic at the moment.
I feel like we’re all in some dystopian nightmare with what’s going on in the States, the war in the Ukraine, Palestine.“I am not putting off anything I want to do anymore and I will never do it agai.
