I believe there are some things meant only for you and the person you love.

I had to learn to jog because I run like a fish. All my friends found the thought of me running on screen hysterical because I do absolutely no exercise.

I'm not a girly girl. I don't brush my hair.

I was painfully shy as a child; I was dyslexic. I had a single mother who's an immigrant. I just didn't believe acting was something that people like me could do on a professional level.

It's nice to know that a studio is willing to put a female in a film without expecting the character to have a love interest.

I'm not comfortable doing nudity. That's something quite personal.

I played American when I was, like, fourteen, and I was awful. I cringed the whole way through.

I like the idea of up-and-coming actors nowadays being a little different and not necessarily the drama-school stereotype, being a bit more edgy.

Acting's such a good job in that you're stimulating and pushing yourself constantly. I'd never want to do anything comfortable.

My first secondary school was in East Finchley, and I was one of only five white people in the year. I was really skinny and flat-chested with frizzy hair. I don't consider myself posh, but my mum brought me up to speak properly, and they picked up on that, as all kids do.

'Skins' wanted to create a new thing by actually casting real teenagers. I think it was very brave of them. They also wanted to give the opportunity to people who didn't go to drama school.

I love my job every day. So whether it's for four years or for two weeks, it's still... And when you're working on a set, it feels like a family straight away.

My hair was always frizzy. I always wanted to be blonde with lovely straight hair. I was very skinny. I was quite tomboyish, just very quiet. I always wanted to fit in; I just couldn't.

My mother is Brazilian, and her grandfather was Italian.

Being asked to memorise a script in one day when you have dyslexia is the same as having a broken foot and being asked to dance. You have to make exceptions for it.

I've just made a cancer drama, called 'Now Is Good,' directed by Ol Parker and starring Dakota Fanning. We filmed in Brighton and it's about a girl dying of leukemia, although it's not as depressing as it sounds.

I remember doing my first school play. We were doing 'Oliver Twist,' and I was cast as Oliver. It was the first time I ever felt brave and confident and truly happy about something.

Most people think of 'Wuthering Heights' as romantic; it's really not about that at all.

I like to work. I feel blessed that I'm working.

Do the little things that make you feel normal and happy, even if that's just getting in your pyjamas and watching 'X Factor' at the weekend.

I wasn't good at anything very much at school, but I did like drama.
Kaya Scodelario -
When someone shouts 'Skins' at you, its funny the first time. But after a hundred times, you think, 'I do have a name.'
Kaya Scodelario -
'Skins' was never about sending a message. It was showing you everything there was and letting you make a decision.

I'm lucky to have fallen into this trade, and I'm still fighting to stay in it.
