When I emerge from filming I feel slightly out of synch with real life, but it's also a relief.

I've not sat with my agent going: 'Where is the next hopeless girl I can play?' They just come along.

It's beneficial to play against your type; to be chameleon-like.

I'm not recognised much at all.

I don't really get recognised very much.

My history teacher was utterly terrifying, but her lessons were very inspiring. She got me interested in people and stories, which then led me to acting.

No one goes through life thinking that theyre the best friend of the lead character.
