The filmmaker is really important to me: it could be their first film; it's not just about their reputation, but I have to really believe in them.

The more I see and know about life, the more ideas I have and the more I want to make art.

On every film I do, whenever there are other girls my age, I think it's definitely up to me to set the pace. That's because I've had a lot of experience and I think there's always a certain amount of professionalism that should be maintained. If I was catty or whatever, it would just make the whole shoot unpleasant. And what's the point of that?

Doing 'All Good Things' really felt like I was acting for myself rather than anyone else. It gave me a freedom I'd never had before, or knew I had, to do whatever I want to, and to argue my opinions and not just feel like the cute girl on set or the girl in a boy's club. I figured out how I could be both. And it's been different ever since.

I can't wait to have kids one day. I want to have kids and a farm with lots of animals on a lake.

Charlotte Rampling is someone I've wanted to work with for a very long time. I've always looked up to her as an actress and it's a reason why I feel brave to do a film like Melancholia. So, to me she's the ultimate.

The hardest job an actor can do is all this pretend, all this screaming and being scared for your life.
