Given Quote by Sonya Walger
“You know, I just tend to do the scene that I'm given, really. If it really needs it, then I'll go to them and ask 'What's she talking about? What's she referring to?' But often they don't know, or they do know and they're not going to tell me, so I've learned just to work with what I'm given.”

![“It [the scene] can be something given to you and you go, "Ah this is a good idea, I can work with this." Sometimes it cuts right across your instinct and that's when I might resist. Even if the director might be insistent, I think it's very important to say, "Look, I'm not feeling this. I'll try…” quote by Ralph Fiennes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a8f/ralph-fiennes-7066_cutting_it-the-scene-can-be-something-given-to-y_551000.jpg)
