I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.

My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.

You never think you're as old as you're ever going to get.

When you get a bit older and you realise that no one knows what they're doing, no one's perfect and it's fine.

Sometimes when a scene is written or directed to be shouted or played incredibly angrily, I always think it's way more terrifying when someone is fuming and talks in a very calm way. I always want people to shout at me if they're angry - it freaks me out that whole thing of, 'I'm not angry I'm just disappointed.'

I absolutely adore Alessandra Rich, I think her dresses are stunning and she really knows how to cut and dress the female shape. Her stuff is really beautiful, stylish and a little bit quirky. I love it all!

I remember stealing some pic n' mix when I was seven; when I got out of the shop, I burst into tears.
