Alison Sudol

I have found that music can be a unfeminine space to be in, so embracing this level of femininity was a really interesting challenge for me. The notion that I can remain strong, feminine and soft and maintain a healthy lifestyle, without reducing myself, was difficult for me. I've loved it somewhat. I've really enjoyed wearing heels and a dress everyday and sporting these pretty curls and soft materials. I'm much younger than everyone else in Fantastic Beasts] and there was quite a bit of pressure that I had to face. However, during the auditions I had this strange feeling that there was an enormous pressure in front of me. Or, I could crumble to the ground and sink because I so wanted it. But I also had the option of stepping into the air and let it push me into the future. You could spend hours walking around exploring coffee shops, museums as well as parks. In LA you are often at a distance, while in London you can ride the Tube and you are at the center of the crowd as well as every other type of human who you imagine will be passing by. I am a fan of watching people. In the world of music, you are constantly around people. The feeling is that you have to be close to them all the time. It's a wild, surreal dream. I've read the entire book in the series. It was wonderful having the opportunity to study the books while on tour. You're constantly changing cities which makes it difficult to concentrate. However, to be able to escape into such a tense and vivid world in your bedroom is something truly wonderful.
