There are a lot of people who say, 'Yeah yeah, I'm a feminist,' and they're not, actually. I wouldn't want to throw that word around, because it's a very strong thing.

For me, clothes are about individuality. When I wear things that are different and it works, it makes me feel good.

That's what acting is. You're pretending to be someone else.

When I was younger, I would mess about and have a laugh with everyone. I was doing Atonement when I was about 12, and as we went to do this very serious scene, the director Joe [Wright] came up to me ... I'd been giggling right up to the beginning of the take. And he came up to me and said, "Okay, you need to be serious now." I completely idolized him.

I listen to everything. I love The Chemical Brothers.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

When I can't get the character out of my head, and I'm in my bedroom and I start to actually act out the scenes that I've read in a script, I think okay, I really want to do this.
