I thought it'd be interesting to play an off-centre character who doesn't have to be pretty.
-
I think Keira Knightley is amazing, and I've heard also that she is one of the coolest, most down-to-earth, brilliant girls, and I really look up to her in that respect. She's got it all, really, and I think she's made interesting, bold choices in her work.
-
I'm learning a lot about how to be one of the 'good' actors. You'd hope that it's natural to be a good person, and kind, but I'm learning how to deal with long, sometimes boring days.
-
I really have been lucky because I've always had a very healthy attitude to my body.
-
It took me a while to warm to the '20s costumes on 'Downton.' I love it when women accentuate their curves, and that era was all about hiding them. The shapes they wore then were in tune with female empowerment. Cutting off their hair and hiding their busts was a way of saying, 'We're equal to men!'
-
I love clothes but it's a struggle for me to get out of jeans and a baggy jumper.
-
I think our sense as actors of what we've just done - whether or not it be in an audition - is usually really not connected to any truth. I'm always asking for more takes and more goes. I think I just need to shut up and listen.
-
I think Beyonce always looks great.
-
I Googled myself, and I saw some nice things and some not-so-nice things. I've learned that that stuff isn't real, and it doesn't exist unless you look at it.
-
I live in dungarees, and I love denim - I wear denim shirts a lot.
-
I saw Cate Blanchett in 'Big and Small,' and it was mind-blowing. The fact that she can do theatre and is also a huge movie star is really exciting.
-
I love putting on a red lip. I don't do it so much for events - somehow, I don't seem to get it right - but when I just go to the pub or to a restaurant or something, I just put a red lip on.
-
In anything, I always give my all. I'm not a good loser.
-
People talk a lot about, 'You're a Disney princess! You're Cinderella!' and this and that. But for me, it's all about the fact that I worked with Cate Blanchett and was directed by Kenneth Branagh. That's the 'Cinderella' story for me.
-
To be honest, when I was growing up - I think it's because of Kate Winslet and 'Titanic' - I always wanted to do period.
-
When I worked with Bill Nighy on 'Wrath of the Titans,' he said to me, 'There's one thing you can promise me, and that's never, ever, ever read your reviews.'
-
You know that scene in 'Runaway Bride' when Julia Roberts puts on the amazing wedding dress and looks at herself in the mirror and goes, 'Swish, swish'? I loved that moment so much when I was a little girl.
-
I don't do anything with my brows.
-
There are other things I want to focus on rather than staying in shape.
-
I love to start the morning with a mist spray, especially after a night out.
-
I love singing so much. As a kid, that was what I wanted to do.
-
It's pretty disabling sometimes, the terror of not living up. My expectations are the worst.
-
God, I used to have really skinny-crap eyebrows. They were such an ugly disaster.
-
I naturally have a really small waist.
