My first job was a film called 'Storm Damage' for the BBC. I was 16 and working with really respected British actors. I didn't have an agent at the time, and it kind of threw me into real acting.

The water in L.A. tastes like bleach. I literally have to make my tea with Evian water.

Mascara is my daily essential. I pile it on top and bottom lashes during the day. If I'm going out, I'll add the individual Eylure lashes at the outer corners for more drama.

I love women that have an ease to the way they dress. I think Vanessa Paradis and Alexa Chung do that very well.

I've read 'Valley of the Dolls' at least four times. It's so epic!

I am a Topshop homing pigeon! I can walk into the Oxford Circus branch and ferret out the best bits in minutes.

You should see some of the things people tweet me. There have been death wishes on my Twitter timeline.
