Interview With Deadline (February 2026)
Jessie had a funny interview with Deadline last month chatting about her agent, Lindy King, and her journey so far!
“When we go to the cinema, or we go to the theater, we listen to a story, we’re holding our unspoken feelings beside each other… That’s the great mystery of why stories are important and needed in culture.”
Apparently Jessie’s favourite protein bar snack is called Perfect Bar so yay for unintentional product placement!
When asked by her agent at 22 whether she wanted to go to the US to explore options, she initially said no.
“I said, ‘No, I’m not ready. I don’t think so.’ And I wasn’t ready, but I love that I said that. I needed more time to know myself. And I think I was scared. It’s intimidating. And it felt so foreign and exotic and far away at that time. So, I needed time to learn, and I did,”
This interview is super interesting to read! You really get to see inside Jessie’s head and I’d personally love to see a musical written by her!!
“I love singing. What’s fun is in between jobs, I go to my dirty secret basement and write, and I have no need, apart from to feel free in it. Whether I’ve done it in a small club in Camden, or I’ve done Cabaret in the West End, it’s so part of me. And I’d love to marry that with cinema. It would be such a nice thing to have done in my life.
I’d love to do a new musical. I think about the sound of London. And get Radiohead to do the music. But they’re far too cool.”
