The detail that goes into couture stuff is insane. Everything is handmade - every sequin, every double stitch.
All women are strong, and we don't need to write stronger female roles; what we need to start writing is real women that have emotions and have real-life thoughts.
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.
I used to think fashion was silly, and now I think it can be one of the purest expressions of art.
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.
I think it's really hard for filmmakers to adapt books.
I don't think there was any point where I was like, 'I want to be an actor for the rest of my life.' The nice thing about being a kid is you don't have to make those decisions. Then all of a sudden, you blink, and you're 18.
I can do a really good animal impression! I'm great at ducks, cats, dogs, and occasionally dolphins.
There's a joke in my family that I'm going to make a career out of playing other people's younger selves.
When I got to know Margot Robbie on the set of 'The Legend of Tarzan,' I learned just how important it is to be lovely to everyone you meet.
I didn't really have idols growing up, but some of my friends were huge fangirls.
I think passion in a physical way goes hand in hand with taste and smell.
Moving to New York is a big, brave thing to do.
That's something I want to do: cover all sorts of genres to find the one I love most.
I want to be a part of a movie that changes people's conceptual framework, and suddenly you see things in a different way.
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.
Growing up and working at the same time is difficult.
It's very hard to not give in, to sell your soul: to flatter a more experienced male person of power, a producer or director, in order to get what you want. You feel a pressure to flutter your eyelashes and flirt because you know that will work, and I think it's admirable to not do that.
I can't just pretend to be someone else all my life. I have to mix it up.
The 1950s is my favourite era.
