I had a hard time at school because I worked, so I was quite often out of school, which meant that I didn't make many friends. It can happen to child actors, because you're not in the school environment. And I did miss that school environment and being around people.

I study English literature but my friends are doing psychology and things like that. No one cares about acting there. It's not competitive and it's a nice environment for me.

The Romany culture is not really in the media that much and Jack Thorne wanted to portray that.

I get very nervous in un-trodden territory but it's important to keep doing it just to prove to myself that I can do it.

Going forward, anything that Richard [Ayoade] asks me to do, I would be so honoured... even if it's sweeping the street because he's such a great person and a great friend.

To work with Richard [Ayoade] is my favourite thing in the world. He is my favourite person. So, it was great for me to be involved in a project that was, again, so different and with such wonderful actors. Everyone from Submarine is in the film in one way or another, which helps because it really does feel like a family.

When I was 12, I did my first sort of speaking role. But I wouldn't say I had a passion for it from the start. It developed as I started to become a bit more mature.
