"I used to be so afraid of getting old, and now I just think it's the best thing ever, they say. I feel like I'm just coming into myself. And it feels fucking amazing. I think it's such a fantastic thing to age all the shit starts falling away and what you care about becomes more concentrated. I know what I want my life to be now, and I'm pretty stern on it. I don't have to care about anything else."
"Which is why it was so funny when people said, Oh, you're doing another Troubles story!' These stories, these characters couldn't be more different. It's a funny thing that's preserved for Irish actors and Irish stories, for some reason. I've never heard anyone say to an American actor, Oh, are you going to do another American one?' Or an English person, Oh, you're doing another English one?' So it's very odd that when I, as an Irish actor, choose to tell back-to-back Irish stories,"
Lola Petticrew approaches turning 30 with enthusiasm and a strong sense of self; aging feels liberating as unimportant concerns fall away and priorities concentrate. Petticrew is filming Furious in New York as a character who was sex‑trafficked and now seeks revenge, and has joined Netflix's Assassin's Creed adaptation. Earlier roles include portraying IRA agent Dolours Price in Say Nothing and playing Cushla Lavery in Channel 4's Trespasses. Those two Troubles-era roles differ markedly in character and tone. Petticrew highlights a recurring tendency to single out Irish actors for consecutive Irish stories, a scrutiny not commonly applied to American or English performers.
