I cry at films and TV and even adverts.

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

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.

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.

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

I'm not recognised much at all.

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