In the U.K., there is a sort of obsession with class.

I think it must be so hard to start your career with everyone going on about how gorgeous you are. To be in that bracket must be so pressurised.

I did all sorts of jobs after drama school - working in a bar, as a teaching assistant. I probably learned as much from them as I did at drama school.

The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know whats around the corner.

I have such a huge girl crush on Beyonce.

Playing a plainer role means everything is dependent on the credentials of the actor, not the fact that they are as pretty as Julia Roberts. People start to look at their talent rather than their appearance. And playing the ugly part often means less time in the make-up chair, which is a great benefit on set.

Id love to work in the States; Id love to work anywhere where you get a good script and a good part to play. But I do love British film as well.
