Hollywood wouldn't suit me. In L.A. it's all about work - studio people have their five minutes with you and they go, 'Oh mah Gahd, I love your movie.' You just feel very self-conscious there.
There's this shop in New York I go to; it has bones and fossils and insects that are like works of art. I have a few on my wall.
England understands good Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine; in France, we just get French.
I have my own style and don't really follow fashion, but I like leggings. They're easy to wear and can go with anything.
I like style. For Dior, I did more of a collaboration shoot, not just a single image - so there was more to it. It's a very prestigious brand. I like their style and feel like their style is mine.
I'm a dark blonde, yes. I dyed my hair blue, then black, when I was 14. I thought the colour was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don't think I'd ever change back unless it was for a film.
I play the piano. I bought an upright piano that is actually electric, so I can practice my scales with headphones on and not make my neighbours' lives hell!
At drama school, I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.
I struggle to watch myself in any scene, to be honest. What's done is done. I wish I was able to watch myself, as it would really help me develop as an actor. But I'm not brave enough. It's a difficult thing to do - looking at yourself as this utterly different person on a screen.
My mother is an actress and very well known in France; hence, I move to London to start my own life.
I wear no makeup in real life. I'm very simple. That may be why I go over the top for the red carpet. But otherwise, I'm very plain. I should make more of an effort, actually.
I think it's very important to recognize talent in all facets of filmmaking. Making a movie is such a lengthy and intense experience, so it's wonderful to honour actors, directors, producers and all crew members who put so much hard work and passion into a project.
In a Tim Burton movie, you know it's going to be something unusual, or a bit mad. Something "other."
It's true that I'm drawn to unusual stories. Normal roles don't really attract me.
