I'm the unhealthiest person in the world. I'm not fit at all.

We should just be good humans.

There are so many things that you're supposed to conform to as an actress. Keep your mouth shut. Look pretty. Be a fashionista. I'm not stylish. I don't want to become this character.

I wore an Urban Outfitters dress on my wedding day. It was one I had in the back of my wardrobe. It was white. We went to City Hall here in New York. I wore it with blue velvet boots my husband bought for me. I loved it. It was my favorite thing. It was chilled and spontaneous.

We lived in a council flat, and I spent most of my time on estates. My mum was very strict. I used to hate it.

'Skins' is actually a part of who I am as a person, so I was really focused on making sure the scripts and the story lines were right.

I'm finding a lot of actors my age now who are a bit more like me, and not as posh or brought up in a certain way. There's now people of all sorts of kinds of backgrounds.

I was incredibly nervous about doing a period drama. I thought that to play period, you had to be English-looking and blonde and very well spoken, and have gone to drama school.

I don't stay in accent or anything, but internally, I get quite dark and destroy myself a little bit. But that's what I do, and I enjoy it. It's how I do my work.

In England, there is this tradition of the upper classes going to very expensive drama schools and then going on having careers. I knew that wasn't an option for me. My mother would never have been able to afford that.

Considering what the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film is about, I wouldn't be able to play Anastacia.

I'm lucky: I've got one of those fast metabolisms where I can eat whatever I want, and I don't put on weight. But I know that's only when you're young. It'll probably hit me when I'm 30.

I think of women as an all-being creature.

I had no confidence as a child; I still really don't. Acting is the only thing I've ever felt comfortable doing.

I'd love to find a really good Brazilian project, an up and coming director or something. I wouldn't want to do the typical favela story, Brazilian cinema has a lot more to offer than just that.
Kaya Scodelario -
It's very strange: I watch a lot of interviews with other actors that I know saying, 'Oh we had a great time; we're best buddies,' and I know for a fact that they didn't, and they actually hated each other.
Kaya Scodelario -
I am quite proud that I managed to prove that you don't have to be able to afford drama school or have the right connections to do well.

I was incredibly shy and insecure as a child. I was bullied. I was dyslexic. I had an immigrant single parent. I was the opposite of that kind of ideal, cool girl thing.
Kaya Scodelario -
I'm a Londoner, so I'm a bit feisty.

'Southcliffe' is extremely dark. It's an extremely depressing, intense story, but the shoot was like being at Disneyland. It was unbelievably different from what we were filming.

I wanna make my mark, and I wanna be part of something!
Kaya Scodelario -
I'm not the best auditioner.
Kaya Scodelario -
When I'm at work, I do try and embody it as much as possible.

People don't realise how dyslexia affects your confidence and how brutal it can be. People think you're dumb, and you know you're not. it's just how your brain works.
