felt producer whereas
I'm very lucky, as I've never ever felt any pressure from any producer to lose weight, whereas a lot of actresses have.
I seem to play a lot of troubled kids.
brings buddies crush depth emotional innocence love massive natural nice
I've got a massive actor girl crush on Carey Mulligan, so I'd love to be buddies with her. She just oozes this joyful, natural innocence and always brings a nice emotional depth to her character.
actress assume blonde easier flitting maybe naturally pay people
I enjoy flitting around between hair colours. I find it fascinating when people think I'm naturally blonde, as I've only been blonde for about two seconds. People pay more attention to you as a blonde; it's also easier for people to assume you're a ditsy young actress. Of course, I am a ditsy young actress - well, maybe not ditsy.
I don't have any massive ambitions to be a movie star.

I admire my mother for being a single mum. It's ridiculously hard.

I come from a very loving, stable background where I've been persuaded to just be myself and anything is possible.
doctors research panic-attacks
I spoke to friends that have panic attacks, and I spoke to a doctor who has panic attacks, himself. I also did a bit of research into them. It seemed like everyone's version of a panic attack had slightly different physical things. So, I decided to choose my own physical things.
fun selfish thinking
I'm selfish when it comes to work. I'm like, "Oh, that will be fun! I wanna do that!" I never think beyond my participation in a project.
believe tape agents
I'm so used to taping myself and sending it off and never hearing back. I started to believe that nobody actually ever sees my tapes, apart from my agent.
independent opportunity epic
I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well.

It's important to know the kind of character that you need to be building up to, throughout the series.
