Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Share with us your Top 5 Exercises to stay fit.
Ms. Angela Dixon:
Sun salutations are a great way to increase and maintain flexibility, full press-ups for upper body strength [I did press-ups before every scene in ‘Never Let go’], dead lift, – which is one of the best full-body exercises I know – squats – I even do them drying my hair and brushing my teeth, and the best abdominal workout is engaging them all day every day. I think the key to a successful exercise regime is to be consistent and find a way to include it in your routine so that it becomes part of your life. Finding a form of exercise that you enjoy really helps, especially on those days when you would rather do nothing and trust me I have many of those.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding actresses who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in field of acting?
Ms. Angela Dixon:
The best advice I could give to an aspiring actor is that if it’s not essential for you to act, don’t do it. You will experience off the scale rejection and fierce competition. If you must act then apply to the top drama schools and keep trying until you get in. They open doors.
Know your brand. Who are you? How do others perceive you? Once you’ve discovered it, sell it.
Find a way to keep positive through the rejection because if you think you’re not worthy you won’t work. Be resilient, be pro-active and build networks of people within the industry who you respect and like. And remember networking is not about what you can get from others it’s about what you can do for others. Be generous.
When you work, especially on film, don’t get distracted by the social, keep your head down and do your best work. If you start to become successful and people put you on a pedestal treat them with respect and make them equal in your presence. Keep your feet on the ground whilst reaching for the stars.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What do you wish to say about the website Womenfitness.net and message for its visitors?
Ms. Angela Dixon:
I think that WomenFitness.net is a truly inspirational support for women. It’s a one stop shop for us to help maximize our health and fitness. I was really honored to be asked to be part of it. I am passionate about health and fitness. I have always been athletic and am a trained fitness instructor and yoga teacher. I no longer teach but fitness is an integral part of my life. I notice as I get older that people use age as an excuse for excess weight or lack of fitness. I understand how that thought process happens and I strongly believe that it is a self-limiting belief. We are as fit as the work we put in regardless of age. I am the same size and shape I was at 21 and that is no accident – I have worked at it. I intend to keep exercising as long as my body will allow me. No excuses.
My message is that wherever you are on your fitness journey keep going. There will be days when you won’t want to do it, there will be times when it hurts, when you don’t think you are progressing. Trust that sustained action will bring success in the end whatever your goal is.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Lastly, share with us your future plans regarding movies.
Ms. Angela Dixon:
I have a couple of projects in the pipeline. I am cast in the feature film ‘Homeless Ashes’ by Marc Zammit with Jason Flemyng [X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass] which I’m really looking forward to. I can’t mention the other film at the moment but it’s rather exciting. I have my eyes on a part in a great quality TV series next. I’m a big fan of ‘Homeland’, ‘The good wife’ and I have just finished watching ‘The People v OJ Simpson’ which was staggeringly good. If anyone is reading who can make it happen – cast me in the next big TV drama!
