Bonnie Wright: I very much knew early on that my part as an actress was such a tiny, minuscule percentage within the whole creative film making process. I think that goes to everything that I do now. That idea of community and collaboration is always something I’m interested in. Even though on a day-to-day, a lot of my work can be pretty solo, and on my own in terms of writing and stuff, but the minute I do have that collaboration or community, it’s always what I’m drawn towards.

Bonnie: I think that the commitment to food as my last resort to get well was about completely stripping back and using foods as they are. People can spend so much money on so many things to try to make themselves feel better but essentially it’s a commitment within yourself to trust those things that generally don’t even cost that much money at all.

Bonnie: I recently did a 40-day complete detox of no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar – not even natural sugars. Just vegan for 40 days. Even though it was pretty difficult, it did restart my body. Then I slowly started to introduce things one by one to see what affected me. It’s amazing how your body is the best at telling you things. I think that until you really try for yourself, it’s easy to have all these ideas about what you’re meant to be doing to be healthy.

Bonnie: I would say in the last two and a half years, I finally have a really great relationship with exercise, which is entirely because it’s the best stress reliever. That natural release of endorphins is so great. Right now, I’ve got quite a lot of stress and tiredness from this project I’m currently working on, so I don’t kill myself over trying to exercise. I’ve just been doing yoga three to four times a week.
