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.

I'm a real geek. I love spending time researching a character and reading about them.

I cry at the end of every episode of "Girls." I'm just so overwhelmed by the truthfulness with which [Lena Dunham] conveys human nature.

The American vice would be sometimes speaking too loudly. You can always hear American people on the trains!

Sometimes there are changes that need to be made.

I like Nelly's [Ternan] quiet inner strength. I thought there was something about her predicament that I found interesting - that she didn't want to be a floozy mistress, a bit on the side, that she had more self-respect than that.

I studied English literature at university, but for some reason we only spent one week on [Charles] Dickens, so I remember just trying to find the shortest book that I could find. I was like, "'Hard Times,' really great - it's short, that'll do it."
