Those of you that think filming is all glamour, you're so wrong! Really, only the premieres are the glitzy bits.

As soon as you see 'Dame' in front of someone's name, you get nervous, but Dame Maggie Smith is the most wonderfully gentle woman I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say.

I would miss months of school and then return with bright blond hair. Needless to say, there was bullying. I wasn't beaten up daily, but there was name-calling and jealousy. You have to bear in mind that 'Harry Potter' wasn't cool. I wasn't part of the 'Terminator' franchise.

If you're put on a set with a lot of people, it's just nice to see everyone working together.

I do have a bit of a garden, and I'd love a hovercraft to get around it - one of the big four-seater ones with the fan on the back.

I'd have to just say that working with other people, it's a different world from school.

I like all films whether it's dark or light, love, hate, whatever it is, I enjoy it.
