Actress

Getting to travel around the world and go to glamorous locations is certainly not what I had as a kid.

I was brought up in Britain, and I'm very proud of my Britishness and my culture.

I cry at random things, like a flower, or someone giving me a present, or my sister giving me a nice hug.

When you're on set, the crew are like your family because you see them every day, six days a week.

I would never wear anything too revealing. I'm not a fan of dresses where you look nude... I think that looks a bit desperate.

I always find filming stressful. I get very caught up thinking about my character - 'Am I doing it right? Should it be done this way?'

When you go somewhere like Kenya and you see how the children don't have pencils and pens, and all of these things are considered luxuries, and what a privilege they see education as and how hungry they are to learn, I wanted to give my brother and sister long lectures. That definitely stayed with me.

Be open and honest, but perceptive to your boss's situation. That's my advice to graduates worried about working with a new boss.

I live on the same street as my family, actually. I live across the road. I'm a real family person!

The wonderful thing about drama school is that it stretches you in a way the industry doesn't.

I was too much of an innocent when I went to university.

Hollywood 'friends' are only after one thing. They're looking out for the next big thing, and they don't want to miss out on you just in case.
