I like a funny girl. Smart. Talented. I like someone who is good at music - that always intrigues me.
It's fun to be blond, and it's almost difficult to remember how I used to look with my proper hair color.
When it was offered [a role in The Flash] I just thought it sounded like the perfect thing that I would want to do. Then they announced it online the day after and I was terrified, because I hadn't read anything, I hadn't shot anything. What if I'm awful? What if they fire me on the first day? But what I discovered was a bunch of really happy actors who want to make the best show possible, because it's fun. Not for any other reason.
I went to see every angler on the bank to see how they were doing, to try to give them a few tips or whatever. But yeah, we had a lot of fun. It was definitely a good time and we're definitely going to do it again next year.
It's definitely more fun playing a bad guy. It feels a lot better than playing one of the good guys.
I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry. Actually it is really fun playing the bad kid because it just has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it's really fun filming.
To then be on set [of The Flash] the next day over a meta human carcass talking about stratum corneum with Barry Allen, I was, like, fan girling out a little bit. I had to calm myself down a few times. But it makes it fun, coming in as a fan.
It's somewhat new, something that's just getting out and about, hopefully it catches on, it would be really good.
To act upset, I think of cold things - don't ask me why!
Biggest worry is trying to figure out why they are in the state they are in, if its not a trauma type situation like a car accident or something like that, if it's a medical you really feel behind behind the problem, but if you can have an idea what you are dealing with it puts us that much farther ahead in helping that patient out.
I have been to New York before, but when I was quite young and filming my first ever commercial which we filmed in Time Square which was cool.
I am looking to get into the grime rap U.K. scene.
I'll keep doing it as long as they want me to. Im not overly fussed, its not my 100 per cent chosen life career. If they do decide to get a new cast, its OK, fair enough, on to bigger and better things, but as long as they want me to do it Im more than happy to trailer on.
I had been working for eight years and all I had to show for it was this horrible debt. At one point we had the bailiff at the door.
