The British vice is overthinking before we speak, which is really annoying. I love the way that, in America, people are more straightforward.

I use SPF every day, then apply foundation, mascara, eyeliner and blusher. I always take my make-up off at night and moisturize.

Day to day, I always wear eyeliner on my top lid and mascara. I like to do my own makeup, it depends on the event.

It's nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London.

I think Nelly [Ternan] actually has something very conservative about her, and she's very judgmental of (this other character's) situation, and can see that's about to happen to herself. So she judges it even more harshly [because] it's what she fears becoming.

I think in every character there are aspects of yourself that you bring to it. But then it would be really boring to just play yourself.

Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
