I didn't know there were so many ways you can walk down stairs until that day.
I felt really uncomfortable but Daniel's such a great actor and he told me to relax and I got used to it. His advice was don't let everything go to my head - just be level-headed.
I can relate completely to how Hermione reacts when Ron doesn't ask her to the dance and then how elated she is when Viktor does,
I'm not obsessed with books, I'm not obsessed with school and homework, and I'm not obsessed with not getting into trouble.
I'm lucky that I've worked with so many different directors with very different styles and with a lot of different actors.
I've never really had any barrier to break I guess. I don't really have anything to rebel against. I'm quite lucky.
I really never break the rules. I'm not scared to say what I think or if I really disagree with something then I'll say it, but I'm not kind of like a born rebel.
People who are close to me know, they so know that there were days when I was so tired that I would fall asleep anywhere. The onset photographer has pictures of me falling asleep everywhere. Like on chairs, on the floor, in the middle of a set, all curled up. There were times when crew members didn't know where to find me, but they knew I'd be curled up in a ball somewhere.
I already had the sense that I was someone who was more spiritual than specifically religious. ... I'm really interested in those things that are more far-reaching than culture, nationality, race, religion.
For an actor, it is better to play well (or even not so well) in a bad film, than to not play at all.
While I wouldn't object to work at a restaurant or a different place that sells decent-or-better food, I think that I can learn much more by becoming a coder.
I like to think of myself as an actress, I think of going through all of the films as my kind of film academy, the way that I've learnt.
I had been doing something for more than half of my life that I wanted to continue doing - I really loved making the film and I really love acting and it is what I want to do.
My best friend Madison keeps a list on her phone of all of the different English slang that I say, so she has kind of like a translator so she can understand without having to ask me, "What on Earth are you talking about when you say 'nackered'?"
