I think I should have been born a redhead. It goes with my personality - I'm fiery, and it's kind of quirky, like me.

I'm always reading. I've loved reading since I was young, and I've always loved sinking my teeth into a different world, especially one that you begin to create in your head.

I feel like the books that I'm reading at any given time will really help me with my work, because it's just more characters, and you see new people while you're reading.

I don't think I'll ever stick to one specific look. I'm very instinctual about my choices. Some days, I want to look pretty and classic; others, I'd rather have a grungy street vibe.

When I was younger, my dad taught me how to cook. He's a genius in the kitchen. I went to Vietnam with my parents, and I went on a cooking course with him.

There should be no segregation. Everyone should be united, and everyone should be seen as equals.

I would love to tackle an older role and have a little bit more depth, but I do get to have fun with the roles, and I'm quite happy playing young. I quite enjoy being the baby of the cast. It's fun.

I always double cleanse and use a lot of the iS Clinical products, including the active serum, which I swear by. I finish with the Liz Earle Superskin Eye Cream.

The idea of bringing equality not just to entertainment but to every walk of life - I think it's very important.

I don't really have a go-to style. I can change from an Audrey Hepburn type of thing to '70s stuff.

Acting, for me, was therapeutic. It was a way of expressing yourself.

There is really nothing like seeing a live stage performance.

For creating the Texan accent, I would listen to Sissy Spacek and watch her in 'Badlands.' I downloaded the audio of that whole film and listened to that.

When I was a bit younger, I did this tiny role on 'The Musketeers,' and I had to stay dead.

With stage, it's very tough. You have to have a lot of stamina - you're doing eight shows a week for 19 weeks. The same thing, every night. Twice a day some days. The only full day I actually had off was Sunday. And every night is different.

I admire anyone who does stage all their life. It's so tough, and it also made me really appreciate how lucky I am with film. You have to do your own makeup with stage, and you have to do so many un-glamorous things.

My first reaction when I watched Les Miserables was, 'Wow, my hair looks good!' They put half a wig in, and I was always kinda worried it was gonna make my head look twice as big!

Working with the brand has taught me to keep it classy but also shake things up. I love that about Chanel because I get to be pretty, but I also get to ride my skateboard in Chanel.

It's so important to get your voice heard, get out there, support what you believe in and what you wanna fight for.
