I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.
I've always wanted to act and I grew up a little on film sets when my dad was working as an actor.
I've basically grown up with Harry Potter, as so many kids my age have. It's kind of a part of my life.
I've grown up with my parents' music tastes, listening to Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones.
I love cleaning. I love mopping the floor. If you need your floor mopped, I'm there.
I would never want to move to L.A.
'Romeo And Juliet' is the classic love story. When two lovers are separated and trying to get back to one another, that's fiercely romantic and something you become glued to.
For me, clothes are about individuality. When I wear things that are different and it works, it makes me feel good.
Joe Wright [was] almost like a teacher, to be firm with me, that really stuck with me. And that helped me as I've gotten older.
I like films where there's a relationship between two women. I always think that's lovely to watch on the screen.
I think acting is something that is within you. It's a very natural thing for me. It comes from myself, really.
I like books that are exciting and that make you think about things, as well. I like things that have a twist - like 'Atonement,' which I haven't read obviously, as I'm a bit young.
When I am on set or rehearsing for the play, the only thing I can talk about is the work I'm doing. In that way, I home in on what I am doing at the time. So maybe I am a terrible multitasker.
Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with.
