I didn't really have idols growing up, but some of my friends were huge fangirls.

I can do a really good animal impression! I'm great at ducks, cats, dogs, and occasionally dolphins.

When I worked with Keira Knightley in 'Never Let Me Go,' I learned how to be classy and sophisticated.

At 9, I started taking classes at Sylvia Young Theatre School. One day, they asked if I wanted to join their agency. You get in if you're cute, I guess.

The detail that goes into couture stuff is insane. Everything is handmade - every sequin, every double stitch.

Moving to New York is a big, brave thing to do.

I'd like to be smart, fun, and real. It's very easy to just put together a pretty dress, some heels, and some jewels. I don't want to be that girl. It's all about being brave, taking risks. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Keira Knightley remains one of my mentors. I absolutely love her and will turn to her for industry advice or reassurance or validation at any time. She is very classy and elegant and lovely. I have a bit of a woman-crush on Keira.

I had quite a bit of experience doing things that had been adapted from a book and playing real-life characters and playing the younger version of actors. That's kind of my thing.

Whenever anybody asked me, 'Who is your number one director to work with?' I would always say Tim Burton.
