My dad lived on Sunset Boulevard for a couple of years as a waiter, and he said he'd do a different character every time somebody sat down, just to get some practice.

I'm dying to do a tiny indie and play something totally naturalistic without any sort of constraints on me. Something where I can shock everyone.

I find cardio hard.

I saw this cool interview with Amy Adams from when she did 'Enchanted' and played a princess, and when kids came up to her with no make-up and ripped jeans on, she said, 'I'm off duty. I'm an off-duty princess', and I thought that was quite sweet.

I have an amazing stylist; she's called Rebecca Corbin Murray... I go around to her living room, and it's sort of exploding with dresses, and we go through them all, and she's so good at picking things she knows I'll like, and we work together. She's taught me absolutely everything; she's brilliant.

For girls growing up, sometimes I think they get the wrong idea for what women should look like.

I don't have an exact moment when I decided I wanted to be an actress - it kind of was just really a part of my growing up.

Any kid in the world can draw from strengths within - we all have the potential with that.

It's weird when you get roles that coincide with your life.

Mum would have a panic attack if she had to stand up and give a speech around a table.
-
At drama school, we were taught to write down your dreams and carry them around in your wallet with you, and they'll come true, but I didn't do that.

'Cinderella' touches on loss, and there was definitely a strong sense of grief in my life.
