I really enjoyed it - being involved in watching rushes and playback [in "The Invisible Woman"]. Ralph [Fiennes] was very open to my input, I think knowing that he couldn't always be there 100 percent, that he had dual aims with directing and acting.

The British vice is overthinking before we speak, which is really annoying. I love the way that, in America, people are more straightforward. The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!

In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.

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.

I don't have much time for shopping so I pick things up when I can. My favorite labels are APC, Isabel Marant and Agnes B because the clothes are cut small and have a simplicity to them.

I always hope for roles that have some depth and that I can get my teeth into and that will challenge me, in some way.

I would work as hard as possible at school so I could keep acting alongside.
