As I get older, my skin shows more of how I am feeling, like a mirror. If I am stressed, or not getting enough sleep, I see it in my face right away.

When something is dramatized it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news.

My mum said she remembers me asking her if she'd take me to ballet lessons when I was about two and a half. She said I could barely speak, and yet was asking for ballet lessons.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

It's very kind of 'Wuthering Heights' where my parents' house is, moors and deserted. It's very wild and mystic.

It's nice to bring the changes with everything you do. As an actor, that's what you want to do, all the time.

I always play girls who are quite traumatised, or a plain girl, but I'm happy with that.
