I think a lot of people on Twitter say, 'Oh you're really cute. I want to adopt you,' and things like that, yeah.
I still study dance, and it's definitely something I want to incorporate in the future. It's always been my first love.
I'm so excited to be working on 'Doctor Who,' as it's such a big and important part of British culture.
Most commonly, I've been recognized from people who aren't actually from England.
I seem to be landing a lot of roles with animal interactions, which is amazing.
People actually really want to see what I'm up to, and that's crazy.
When you're filming, it's very different from what you see on screen.
When I first watched 'Coraline,' I thought, 'If that ever got adapted...' If it was done by real actors, I think that would be a really fun thing to do, just because it's a kind of whole new universe.
It's helpful to have a handbag that's a bit crazy, or shoes that have kiwis on them or something, because it distracts.
I hope there are going to be plenty of more roles to come.
I've had a fast track to who I want to be. I know all of my friends are struggling to what to pick in college, and I've been given a fast pass to kick start my future.
Oh, the cat I worked with on 'Game of Thrones' was so badly behaved! It would never do anything it was supposed to do. I was like, 'Get your game together, cat. You're so bad.'
Sleep is my best friend when we're shooting 'Game of Thrones' because there are very long days and intense scenes.
Doing the sword fighting is like picking up a dance routine... I think dancing really helps with the picking up of it.
