Obviously I have a bit of an awareness because I go to the internet like everybody else but I don't get too involved in the details of those conversations just because it can hurt you if you stumble on something that's not nice.

My dad says that when I was two or three I used to go out dressed as a different character every day. I remember thinking it was perfectly normal to wear different coloured shoes and carry a pink umbrella. But now I've got a goddaughter of that age; I realise it's not normal at all.

In horror films, they sometimes don't show the monster because our imaginations and our own pain is so much greater. Social media is like that. I think it's so great. It doesn't have to show a monster - when you see someone leaving a mean comment, or living a so-called perfect life, you just put all of your pain into that.

I did literature at university, so I had a real relationship with poetry, but they don't make many films about the world of a poet.

I sort of lived half my life in California, half in England, so I am, I suppose, a little bit American.

I think I'm probably quite geeky in a lot of ways. I'm pretty into books, kind of obsessive about that.

I always think that if I'm with somebody, they're better than me. That's why I love them. They're amazing.
