Sandra Oh Opens Up About Learning She Got the Lead Role in 'Killing Eve'

Sandra Oh is on the cover of Marie Claire‘s May 2019 issue, out on newsstands on April 23.

Here’s what the Killing Eve star had to say…

On the success of Killing Eve: “I’m grateful that this happened at 47, because I’ve done enough work on myself to really experience it. And then, too, it just has deeper meaning for me.”

On realizing she was offered the leading role in Killing Eve: “I was like ‘Where’s my part?’ When my agent said, ‘You’re f–king Eve,’ I just couldn’t see it. I couldn’t see myself in a leading role… it’s like a f–king shard in my heart.”

On maintaining her balance: “I know a big part of my job is to rest, do you know what I mean? The outcome is tremendous, and if you do not rest, you will not be balanced. And if you’re not balanced, you’re an a–hole.”
