No talent lies in my dancing.
My dad's a sound designer, and he used to take me to work with him.
I have very sensitive skin, so I have to care for it properly.
I wear tinted moisturized since, on the stage, we tend to wear such heavy stage makeup.
When I was in my teens, I thought, 'Would I like to try and work hard at being an actor, or do I want to work hard at doing something musical?' Acting won out, but I do really enjoy those moments where I get to just belt something out.
When I'm on stage, I feel very much at home - within a theater, within an ensemble - so this entire process is something I feel very attuned with.
One of the shows I would very much love to be a part of is 'Mad Men' - walking around that office.
The calibre of TV's changing. It's becoming much more epic. To rival film, definitely.
There are no captions on red-carpet photos that say, 'This girl trained for two weeks, she went on a juice diet, she has a professional hair and makeup person, and this dress was made for her.' I just wish they'd say, 'It ain't the truth.'
After my last audition for 'Game of Thrones,' they said, 'Congratulations, princess.' I was like, 'Bye-bye, call centre.'
You come from a happy family; you want to create a happy family.
I don't get much studio stuff. I'm usually on location, and I know that some people think that acting is so glamorous, but believe me, it's not!
You have to do whatever jobs you can to pay the rent.
I tried a robin heart once. It wasn't very good.
'Elizabeth' is something I've looked to a lot for a strong female leader.
I owe absolutely everything to HBO.
Me and heels are very good friends.
I find that a lot of the good acting comes out when you're physically being pushed: your brain turns off and just deals with the situation at hand. You get to a point where you're exhausted at the end of the day, but I quite like that.
