The British actress, who most recently starred in 2019's Little Women, has opened up about her decision to take a break from acting to pursue other dreams. "Because I'm in a career that moves very quickly, the decision to take time to do these things felt like a very big decision.” "(Choosing) to go back and write and study and get behind the camera was terrifying for me because I'd never done it before. I had always been in front of the camera; I'd always been an actor."
