Quotes

Dani Thompson

  • [commitment to her craft] I actually started out as a model, which gave me a strong foundation in self-discipline and presence in front of the camera. But I knew early on that I wanted to be taken seriously as an actress, not just seen as 'a model who acts.' That's why I made the conscious decision to train properly and enroll in drama school. It was important to me to learn the craft, study the work, and prove to myself and to others that I was fully committed to the art.
  • [how the role of women in horror has changed over the years] There are a lot more stronger roles for women, women don't always have to play the damsel in distress anymore but there are also so many more women now working not just in front of the camera but also behind, female producers, directors and writers all contributing to horror.
  • [horror roles] After graduating [drama school], I didn't set out with the intention of focusing solely on horror, but it just kind of went that way and I'm so grateful it did, I definitely found my niche. There's something really powerful about the genre. Horror pushes boundaries, explores deep emotions, and often reflects the human psyche in ways other genres don't. It's given me opportunities to explore intense roles and build a strong fan base who genuinely appreciates my work.
  • [great advice she received] Always make sure your underwear matches and your nail polish isn't chipped - solid advice from my Nana and I live by it!
