I've realized the quirky things that make you different are what make you beautiful.

Decisions are the endless uncertainties of life that we'll not know if they're right until the very end, so do the best you can and hope its right.

If you don't have that trust in the backbone of the project, you may not know what you're making.

I don't wear dresses all the time - it's nice to save those moments for certain occasions and to make it feel extra special.

It was interesting to portray a character that was so far removed from today's world, but was also at the forefront of feminism at that time.

I grew up understanding the pros and cons of what you're getting into and knowing what comes with your job. I like to keep my private life private, and then work is work. I feel so far I've had a really good balance with that.

I’m a huge fan of the books myself, so to know that I got to play Clary – who’s a literary heroine to me – was a huge honour.
