Quotes
“[In Succession filming set], everybody knows each other so well, everybody’s quite bound to each other. And so it was just a really good one where I felt like everyone was really in the groove and felt at ease and at home with each other.”
“I was just saying Matthew’s [Macfadyen] nothing like Tom. They’re these kind, warm, loving, goofy sweethearts. I think that’s what makes it all work so well, it’s like we can really lean into the terrible nature of these people, because everybody knows we’re just pretending, and there’s so much love there.”
“I have moments of compassion and empathy and love for all of [Succession characters]. […] I think people love it because they’re all such juicy characters on top in their viciousness. It’s so well-delivered and each of them have such clear identities that you could watch it all day. They’re just fascinating.”
“Alan’s just a dream partner. I really didn’t take for granted how professional he is. Just kind, friendly, supportive, available, incredibly talented…”
“It’s a really sad goodbye. It was heartbreaking. I’m still living with it. Watching the season, you’re just reminded of how much care you have for all of the people involved. It’s a bittersweet thing to love something so much that it hurts to let it go. […] But that’s what life is – just loving things over and over again. [Succession is] definitely going to be one of the loves and losses of my life.”
“I mean I really did pay attention to the Character that Hero. It’s such a rich character, there’s a reason why she’s (character in movie play) a fan favorite, she’s so incredibly complex, lovable, and interesting.”
“I’m around people that make me want to expand as an artist, so it’s really a treat.
I’m not kidding when I say I’ve learned from like every single actor on this show.”
“Power can be lonely and cold and that’s what I’m constantly shocked by is like watching all these characters is just cold and lonely life seems to be. Even though they’re all so entrenched in their dynamics there’s so much distance between all of them.”
Justine Lupe spreads her happiness and positive vibes from her work in movie and drama series. That’s why she is worthy as an idol for fans!
