My mum always says work goes in waves: you have a good spell and then it dips.

Supposedly I'm impossible to talk to. But it's honestly not me being difficult. Sometimes you just don't have a lot to say.

I'm not too vain - I sometimes take pride in my appearance, but I stick to the rule never to spend longer than a girl getting ready.

I try not to be too optimistic or pessimistic. If you're a pessimist then that's depressing all the time; if you're an optimist and things don't work out then that's depressing, too.

Occasionally people will look at me and do a double take and theyll look at me like theyre trying to think where they know me from.

I'm not one of those people who's saying "I'm going to set up a production company", because I like acting and not having to be a business man and do that side of things.

As you're growing up, it's odd, because directors don't expect you to grow up. They think you'll be young forever, but as an actor, there is an awkward period when you're too young for old or too old for young, and it can be an odd time.
