You are relying on a waiting on other people in acting and films, so to be able to have something that I have full creative control over is really very therapeutic.

It's really rare to get a teenage role that resembles something of what it's like to be a young person, that isn't a cliché or a stereotype.

I didn't shoot any guns then or when we did the scene with Uncle Charlie [Matthew Goode] and Evie [Nicole Kidman] in the hall. I sort of pressed the button but there were no blanks or anything in there because I think it was always going to cut.

Dance has such an intensity to it. You become, in a way, an intense person.

I'm a huge sucker for comfort.

I think that dancing has helped or prepared me, in a number of different ways, for the film industry, especially with controlling your nerves when you walk into an audition because you're on stage from a young age.

Traveling to Russia and Germany and being able to see the world at a young age was really cool for me, and I really liked that.
