Am I the only one that doesn't like how she speaks?! You described it perfectly, it seems like she is preaching, like she feels that whatever she says is going to be profound.... I guess if people think that what she says is amazing & enlightening then she has a reason to think she is so great.

Listening to Ruth Wilson discuss this now with hindsight is fascinating. All of the turmoil that ultimately led to her leaving the show was happening at the time of this interview & continued into 2016/2017. Her measured tones and well-chosen wording, around what unbeknownst to most she was actually experiencing, carry a weight now that we obviously couldn't have appreciated at the time.

As I was walking down a little Manhattan street several years ago, she walked right past me, and her magnetism nearly knocked me over. This woman has charisma to spare, absolutely amazing.
