I don't think I've done anything quite like 'Gypsy' before. Especially the honest way that it is written.

As long as you feel good in something, it doesn't matter what other people think. You just have to own it. You'll never regret wearing something you really love.

I've always liked higher necklines, and Mia Farrow is my ultimate inspiration. The baby-doll dresses with big Peter Pan collars that she wore in 'Rosemary's Baby' were iconic. I've been drawn to similar looks ever since.

I think that's a place where we are, as a society, finally starting to get to now: where your sexuality doesn't have to define you - and you don't have to define it.

I tend to look very different with every role that I do, so I don't know if anybody remembers me or recognizes me at all, including people that I've worked with and know really well.

People keep referring to 'Sing Street' as a musical, but I really never felt it was that. I can't really define it as a musical.

I remember watching that scene in 'My Girl' where Anna Chlumsky cries at a funeral. I would cry with her and be like, 'Yeah, I think I could do that. I could do a funeral scene.'

My skin's rather difficult to fix, and I'm incredibly sensitive.

When you're playing someone that's real, there is that hanging weight of how will they feel when they see this: will I make them feel exposed in some way, and how do I absolutely avoid doing that while playing this as accurately and empathetically as I possibly can?

I don't really have a specific formula I follow to find the right script or role. It's always just very instinctive.

If you're creating your character, you can have full ownership of the emotional range they go through. You can make bolder choices.

My parents always traveled a lot with their job, so it became embedded in my nature quite early on that I would crave that constant change and traveling.

'Gypsy' follows a New York therapist, played by Naomi Watts. It explores the boundaries between patient and doctor - she kind of starts to play puppeteer with her clients.

I think it makes such a huge difference when the director has acting experience as well because it just means that he not only has a view of the film as a whole and the intentions of the scene in terms of the audience, he also has an actor's instinct of how to communicate something to us.

My absolute favorite film is Hal Ashby's 'Harold and Maude.'

I think 'Ballet Shoes' was a very pivotal role for me. I was about 14 then, and it was an incredible cast: Eileen Atkins, Victoria Wood, Emilia Fox, Harriet Walters. All these incredible women.

Nic Hoult is just such a brilliant actor.

Being able to disappear into every film that I do really works in my favor.

It's exciting not knowing what tomorrow, or the next month, or the next year holds.
