Jodie Comer discusses her love life, chasing the dream, and more in a new interview with British Vogue.

Comer, from Liverpool U.K., admits she’s been working almost solidly since being discovered at age 12 when reading a dramatic monologue about the Hillsborough tragedy at a local theatre festival.

However, there was a time when she struggled to get work.

The actress shares, “I remember there was a year where I didn’t work for eight or nine months. You get up in the morning, get yourself ready, get to the train station, two-hour train, get to your audition, you’re in there for 10 minutes, and then you’re coming all the way back home.

“Sometimes I was doing it three times a week. What I realized, the more that I wasn’t working, was that I stunk of desperation, basically. It became: ‘I need the job.’ And then you go into auditions and they can smell it.”

Comer is also asked about the scarcity of material written on her and love.

However, she insists: “I’m very much in it. I think love’s the best. I’d been single for a while and just kind of going with the flow and doing my thing.”

“That’s the thing, isn’t it? When you’re relaxed and letting the universe do what it’s doing, things kind of fall into place. Which is very much what happened. Which is great.”

Comer also reveals a whole lot of her “lasts” in a video clip, including the last time she slid into someone’s DMs.

“The last time I really slid into someone’s DMs: Aimee Lou Wood off ‘Sex Education’ because I watched the first series and was completely obsessed with her so I felt that I needed to tell her I loved her,” Comer shared.
