About

Violet Ryder Age: 22 Drama School Student. Lives: LONDON

What do you do? At the moment I'm doing an MA in Acting at Mountview Academy - it's an intense full year course so it's been taking up all of my time recently
What are you loving right now? I've just been given a copy of Regina Spektor's new album, 'Mary Ann Meets The Grave Diggers' - highly innovative.
Who or what inspires you? The ability to, when the odds are stacked against you or the shit's just hit the fan, see the big joke and say "fuck it"!
Are you reading any books at the moment? I'm reading the Contortionist's Handbook by Craig Clevenger - all about an anti-hero who forges and bluffs his way through life - fascinating
Do you read magazines/newspapers, if so, which? Not a tabloid fan..The Guardian if any.
Any websites you read on a regular basis? Youtube
What TV shows do you watch? I'm more into film than T.V. so there are no shows I watch on a regular basis
Who are you listening to on your iPod? Been listening to a lot of James Brown and Al Green recently - takes away the chill of winter a tad!
If you could fill your wardrobe with the collection of any fashion designer in the world, who would it be? Vivienne Westwood - Bold yet feminine
In your opinion what are the powerful brands in the world right now? Green & Blacks are having a powerful effect on me at the moment
What’s the most interesting place you’ve visited in the last 12 months? Probably where I'm living in London right now - I live with a bunch of musicians and they've always got some randomer full of wisdom staying on the couch
What 3 places are a must for those visiting London? The National Gallery - make sure you dine in their dining rooms - delish! Brick Lane - it's one of the few places in London that still feels real - so colorful, and Hampstead - I was born and bred there and though it's changed somewhat it still has the pancake stall and the heath.
What can’t you live without? A world without music would be a place not worth living in.
What’s your fav city in the world and why? I adore Venice - the architecture and the atmosphere with gondalas floating past is something that has stayed with me since I was a child
What can we do to become more socially conscious of our environment? Watch Al Gore's, "An Inconvenient Truth".
Do you have any words of wisdom? I don't know about words of wisdom but I love Hunter S Thompson's quote "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
What question should we ask the next person? If you had someone play you in a film, who would it be?
Do you have a myspace account? Nope, life's too short 

Where is your coat from? Ted Baker - it's not what you wear, it's the way you wear it. Pic by The Style Scout
