Hi, my name is Amelia Clark and I'm here with Harper's Bazaar UK to share some of my life lessons.

I think what I've learnt about style over the years is the difference between what I appreciate and what suits me,

which are sometimes two different things, which is why I love a photo shoot, because then I get to wear all these amazing things and the photographer's incredible and they make it work.

My personal style has evolved.

It is evolved.

I feel like it's evolved with time.

I feel like it's evolved with my obsession with fashion.

I feel like it's evolved with what designers are doing that kind of is more applicable to day-to-day wearing because, again, I dress up for a living.

So, like, I'm always in a costume.

So when I wear my own clothes, it's kind of changed.

And I think when I was younger, I just sort of tried everything and anything.

And then as I've gotten older, it's just, you kind of return to the classics.

But then I get to have fun with, like, bags or shoes or jewellery or my hair or my makeup or something like that.

but what I wear tends to be pretty, I don't wanna say safe, but probably quite safe.

The best piece of fashion advice I've ever been given, getting stuff tailored.

So I'm five foot two, it's a problem because if you buy nice clothes, they're designed for tall people.

And so when I wear them, it doesn't look good.

And so when I realized that you could tailor clothes, then it was like a game changer.

Oh, what we wear matters so much.

It can transform your mood.

It can make you feel different.

And I don't like to think that what you wear is the definition of your confidence because you should be able to wear anything, anything at all.

If you wake up in the morning and the thing that's gonna make you feel good is wearing your pajamas.

That's cool.

Your pajamas with a heel.

Come on, I'm feeling you.

The first thing people see when they see you, is your choice of outfit, is what clothes you're wearing.

And I think it took me a long time to realize that that was important to me and that I could express who

I was as myself outside of the world of the industry and outside of the world of the characters that I play and I get to be me.

I've learned a lot about beauty, but I've learned most about beauty from my mum.

She used to work in makeup, so when I was a kid, she gave me quite a lot of life lessons that maybe I wasn't ready for.

So she'd be telling me about like, how to make makeup look like you weren't wearing any, and I was like, I'm 13, I want it to look exactly like I'm wearing loads.

I wanna wear bloomscara.

And so as, again, as I've evolved, it's just, it's just been a stage with fashion and with makeup.

It's just been an evolution of like, you find the thing and you go mad for it, and you put too much on or do too much.

And then as you get older, it's just a progression of taking it off.

And I think that's a sign of confidence as well, allowing yourself to look like yourself.

The first piece of beauty advice I've been given, if anyone's heard me do any interview ever about makeup, you've heard me say this 9,000 times, but my mum told me not to pluck my eyebrows.

And here they are, ladies and gentlemen.

They're here, they're strong, they're here to stay, they've never been changed, don't pluck them.

Even if like we see people start to say, like, oh, we're gonna go back to the thin eyebrow.

No, we won't.

It will come full circle.

Believe in your eyebrows.

My go-to beauty product would be Clinique Moisture Surge.

I've spoken about this.

The whole day long, you've got glowy, dewy skin.

It's kind of amazing.

That and then just mascara.

Just loads of mascara.

Sometimes I feel most beautiful when I get to do like a beautiful photo shoot There are professionals who are making me look beautiful.

That's fun.

But I either feel most beautiful the first day I wash my hair, because if you're like me and you only wash your hair twice a week, they're special days, because they're the days when you're looking your best, because you've got freshly washed hair.

Largely, I feel my most beautiful when I'm having a good time.

I was with my friends at dinner last night, surrounded by people that I really, really, really loved, and I felt so confident and beautiful in myself, way more than like any fancy event.

Self-care means to me, complicated.

It feels like it's a complicated, loaded word because in the beginning, self-care was like a revolutionary thought and then as time has gone on, it's become this kind of loaded,

hashtag self-care sort of energy, which is confusing because I think self-care can mean a million different things.

If you're a social person, Self-care can mean going out and having fun.

And if you're not a social person, it can mean staying in with your tiny, furry, loved pet, like me.

I think it just means quietening the world around you so that you can listen to yourself, whatever it is that you need.

Success to me in my career is waking up every day and wanting to go to work.

If the movie's no good, that's fine.

If the play gets terrible reviews, that's fine.

Because you've already won.

You've already been successful.

Because you've already got what you wanted and what you need as a human being out of the work that you've been doing.

Getting to work with creative people, that's what success means to me.

And that's definitely evolved a huge amount.

And it's been, I suppose, like a painful experience getting to that moment, because it means the loss of like, what you thought the big dreams were.

But I don't see that as a failure.

I see that as, again, success.

I always knew I wanted to be an actor.

Yes, always.

I was like, too precocious.

Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare.

Can you imagine having a two year old, and being like, I wanna be an actress.

Yeah, I've never wanted to do anything else, to the point where I feel like my life would have been a bit easier if I had gone, maybe I'll try university, or maybe I wanna be an astronaut.

No, that would have been more complicated, but you see what I'm saying.

I've thought many times, maybe I'll just give up acting, and I can't, I just can't do it.

The best piece of advice I would give to someone starting out in the industry is, are you sure?

If there is anything else, I mean this from the bottom of my heart, if there is anything else, if you are a young actor who's like coming up to, am I gonna go to drama school?

I think I wanna be an actor.

Is there anything else in the world that you could do that would bring you joy?

Not that like I could be an accountant, I'm really clever, but like that you would want to do, do that because there's so much joy and there's so much love and there's so much amazing things to be found in this career and I've had some of the best moments of my life doing it, but I've had some of the worst.

And you've got to be there for the worst.

And you've got to ride through the worst to get to the best.

And so if you don't love it with your heart, mind, body, soul, there is nothing else on earth that I could possibly do, then that would be my biggest piece of advice because most of acting is being unemployed.

And that ain't glamorous.

So if there's anything else that you can do, do that.

But if there isn't, and this is what you want to do, then always follow the creativity, never follow the money.

What draws me to a project is always the people involved.

So director, basically, I'm just completely director led.

Like if it's a director I wanna work with, you sort of don't need to read the script.

I just want to learn as much as I can.

And I wanna learn from as many different people as I can.

And good different directors, everyone has their own individual style, their own individual like creativity.

So that's what I am looking for in my next job.

My friendships are the loves of my life.

100

It's the most underrated yet impactful relationship you can have in your entire life.

101

Like the fact that I've known my friends for minimum 14 years.

102

Yeah, I value friendship above everything in this entire world apart from my dog.

103

But again, he's a friendship.

104

It's a friendship.

105

It's a furry friendship.

106

How would my friends describe me?

107

I don't wanna know.

108

Completely bonkers, overly generous.

109

And like that sounds like a humble brag.

110

It's not a humble brag.

111

I think it can make people feel uncomfortable.

112

I just like to give stuff to people, just really like it.

113

And sometimes people find it a bit much.

114

Oh my goodness, what have I learned about love?

115

Love is a kind of testimony to the power of being a human.

116

I think that when you truly love someone, it's sort of being able to truly understand forgiveness and compassion and openness.

117

And the fact that love can encompass all of those things is kind of miraculous.

118

And then you just get the hot, sexy love, which is like a meteor and pheromones and amazing.

119

That's nothing about any of those things.

120

That's just about the moment that you're in.

121

And you're never more present than when you're falling in love with someone for the first time.

122

And it's kind of incredible.

123

But I think compassion, forgiveness and love are all sort of rolled up into the same thing.

124

And that's when you get to see how beautiful it is to be a human.

125

I, this is really funny.

126

I don't know if you do like the love languages thing, but according to the love languages, mine would be acts of service.

127

So if someone were to buy me a diamond ring, I'd be like, thanks, babe, appreciate it.

128

If someone were to come round because there was a cockroach, my biggest phobia.

129

Just disgusting things.

130

But if I were to call someone and be like this, and there's a cockroach in my house, and I'm paralyzed and I can't move, and they were to come around and get rid of it for me, that would blow my mind.

131

I'd be like on the floor.

132

What have I learned about confidence?

133

Oh, it's a trick.

134

It's a mind Jedi trick.

135

You can convince yourself that you are confident.

136

Nerves, right?

137

Let's say you're about to go on stage.

138

Let's say you're about to do like a speech.

139

Let's say you're about to do a presentation to your company.

140

Frightening.

141

The things that you feel, your heart pounding, your palms sweating, your like everything that your body does when you're nervous and feeling under confident, your body has the capacity to give you the most profound, most powerful performance enhancing drug known to man.

142

and it's coursing around your body.

143

And as soon as you understand that that's what nerves are, it's just your body preparing you to be the best that you can possibly be.

144

That was like a life hack that kind of switched things up for me.

145

Whenever I got nervous, I would kind of remind myself that if I was feeling all of those things, that meant I was doing exactly the right thing, it was exactly where I was meant to be.

146

And then also I found that if you write down your achievements, that can really help with your confidence building, the little mini wins.

147

and you do that every day and you catalog them, you can reverse the narrative in your head that says that you're not confident, that you're not good enough, that you're not all of those things that make us feel underconfident.

148

I've always felt very unworthy and like low confidence, not meant to be here, imposter syndrome.

149

And the way that I've counteracted that throughout my career is simply by giving less of a, about how other people see me.

150

Because as soon as you remove that power from someone else and you give it to yourself, then you have the ability to stand up for what you believe in, and you have the ability to understand what you yourself are worth.

151

Criticism is a difficult one.

152

It's, because it can feel like a failure, but I'm in an artistic environment.

153

My entire industry is based on criticism and praise.

154

That's it, that's the whole thing.

155

Our shows, our films, our TV shows, our books, our scripts, our whatever, live and die by how it's received.

156

So you've got to get okay with being criticised real early and try and determine whether that criticism is valid for you, whether it's useful, whether it's unuseful, and where to put it.

157

We're in a creative industry.

158

The only reason why we should be doing what we're doing is because we love it, and it's because it sets our world alight, and it's because we're trying to express ourselves in whatever creative way that we want.

159

And so if you're determining the worth of that on a criticism from someone else who doesn't get what you do or doesn't like what you do or whatever it is, or a praise from someone else, it's the same thing.

160

If you believe the praise, you sort of got to believe the criticism, so you kind of don't really have a choice to believe anything other than how you feel about it.

161

Which brings me back to my definition of success, which is the making of it is where I find my success.

162

What empowers me?

163

Snoop Dogg-a-dog empowers me.

164

Beyonce empowers me.

165

My dog empowers me.

166

My friends empower me.

167

Being happy empowers me.

168

Music often is the thing that empowers me, like a hype.

169

Like I've got my hype people, I've got my mates, and when I need them to be my hype people, that's what they are.

170

And if they're not there, then Beyonce normally is, like not in person, I don't know how I wish I did, but as in her music is there.

171

Watching stuff that I love, watching a TV show or a film that I adore or a play, that completely empowers me.

172

It sets me alight.

173

Anything that reminds me of my own creativity and what I really enjoy and what I really like, then I get hyped, I get empowered.

174

What have I learned about feminism?

175

A lot, because when I was a kid, I didn't know what feminism was.

176

And then again, you go through all of the like, you're at uni and you're like understanding what feminism is and then you become like a hardened feminist.

177

Like you read all the books and then, you know, your life happens and you suddenly be like, oh my God, I'm not doing the feminist thing or I'm a bad feminist.

178

And then so then I thought myself to be a bad feminist for a really long time.

179

And then I realized I'm a woman and I have compassion for other women and I want to help other women.

180

I want to be able to have choices.

181

I want every other woman in the world to be able to have choices.

182

And I also want to be able to not have the answers, which I think that's the tricky thing.

183

And I think that's the kind of crux point that feminism is at maybe now, is a woman's ability to be ambivalent, to not know fully what she wants or who she is, what she likes or what she doesn't like.

184

That's what freedom as a woman feels like to me, to be able to be a working mother or not a working mother, or have a child and not have a child, or not know how you feel about any of those things and for that to be okay.

185

I've been fortunate enough to work with lots of incredible women in my life, and it's less the advice that they've given, but more watching how they are, how they work professionally, that has been impactful to me.

186

Emma Thompson is a fabulous example.

187

The way that she exists as a woman on set is the most beautiful thing to behold because she has an endless supply of kindness and care for other people.

188

But also when she's performing, when she's on, when she's on the camera, it's like, the switch is incredible.

189

And then also Janet McTeer once said to me, why stand when you can sit?

190

Why sit when you can lie?

191

Which I've always taken.

192

So essentially, if you've got a chance, you could do a lot of waiting around on sets.

193

If you're stood up, but you have a chance to sit down on a chair, sit down on a chair.

194

And if you're sat in a chair and there's a bed near you, go ahead and lay down.

195

You can lay down, it's fine.

196

That was a good piece of life advice.

197

And be kind, always, always, always, always, when in doubt, be kind.

198

You can't go wrong.

199

Well, I really hope you've enjoyed my life lessons.

200

Feel free to ignore or follow any of the things that I've mentioned.

201

Thank you.

202

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
