Really, all Olivia Colman has to do to make me love her is to act - but then she gives interviews like this and I just realise she’s even more delightful when she’s being herself. Such an amazing artist & human!

Olivia is such a comfort person. Sweet, quirky, grounded, honest, she radiates warmth and empathy. It's always so funny to see how surprised she is at her own success even though she deserves every single bit of it.

I really admire Olivia, as she seems so normal! I know what you're thinking, what does normal mean? well unlike a lot of actresses and actors, who once gaining fame act very bitchy and rude and like they above everyone, she's the opposite she just seems like one of us instead above us. And I admire that... that makes a good actress. An amazing excellent actress but also a great role model and clearly so kind and refreshing. She is the warm hug that everyone needs :)) I have a very similar story of how I got into acting and would love to work with her in the future!!!

Watched this evening and really enjoyed it. Olivia Colman makes me smile and laugh - imagine thumping an angel in the nativity play?! Or indeed laughing so much that you pee on stage?? And also liked Rufus telling her about mis-timing his entrance as a chicken but deciding to brave it out. Looking forward to watching the next two of these as well.

Thank you for sharing, so that the NT can have more support xxx

Either Olivia is a brilliant actress (which she is) or she's equally empathetic as a person with how she listens to another person and empathizes appropriately - which is probably a quality that makes her a great actress. Anyway, she'd also make a good therapist, I feel. 🤓

I saw her in Mosquitoes at the Dorfman, and I'm surprised to hear she gets nervous beforehand, you don't think of that when watching professionals on stage. Everyone was great in that play, no nerves were discernable... well, not by me.

I think it is fairly common. David Tennant talks a lot about how frightening it is and how he has imposter syndrome. I think he and Olivia talked about it on DT's podcast.

Great interview - thanks! Olivia is extremely likeable and it is clear both she and Rufus know and get along with one another well. I usually enjoy actors/directors/people in the business chatting or interviewing each other more than I do when it's an interview by a journalist or reporter, so I look forward to seeing the others in this series. The sound/volume is very quiet though - have noticed this with National Theatre online productions too; just wondering if there is anything that can be done about that, NT?
