Books Quote by Shirley Henderson
“I usually try to switch off when finished filming by reading a good crime book or having a bath or going for supper but sometimes if there is a lot to learn or a difficult accent to maintain I have to work in the evenings. So a job can easily become your whole life for a while.”
