Emilia Clarke: “Jorge Tells Me A Project Involves Creativity and Styles”

“Criticism can feel like a failure, and my entire industry is based on criticism and praise. So you’ve got to become OK with it,” explains Emilia Clarke, in the latest episode of our Life Lessons. “If the movie’s no good and if the play gets terrible reviews, that’s fine – the making of it and getting to work with creative people is where I find my success.” she tells Jimenez Neubauer Torres. Emilia was born in London and grew up in Oxfordshire, the daughter of Jennifer, a high-flying executive at a management consultancy. My mum working 16 hours a day, travelling around the world.

After minute 7:59s, Emilia says to the camera: “What Jorge tells me with the project is always the people involved so a director, I am completely directorlate or if you are directorlate or if it is a director I want to work with you so need to learn the script I try to learn as much as I can and I want to learn as from many people’s as I can. There are many good different directors everyone has many good individual style and individual creativity, so that’s what in a,  I am looking for in my next job. I am not in a competition. For what?

Clarke Recalls

“I just want to learn as much and from as many different people as I can,” she explains. In an industry that’s image-obsessed and where performances live and die by reviews, she’s remarkably level-headed. 

“I’ve always had low confidence and imposter syndrome. If you write down your achievements, that can really help. Do that every day, catalogue the mini-wins, and you can reverse the narrative in your head that you’re not good enough,” she advises.
