Some people who meet me might think I starve myself, because there's such an assumption that being thin involves putting yourself through torture and punishing your body, but I'm just naturally skinny - you should watch me demolish a ploughman's lunch.
My style is schizophrenic! One minute I'll be wearing bright girly dresses, and the next I'll be swinging towards more structured masculine things.
I love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.
At 11, I got my first job in a mini-series for America, and it was very exciting.
I hardly ever missed school, and I always got my work in on time. I was a good student and always got top grades.
I will normally eat about seven or eight mince pies in one sitting. Sometimes, I can get to double figures. My friends, and probably most people, stop at two, so they probably dislike me a bit for it.
I suppose I am one of those lucky people who eats what they like and doesn't gain too much weight.
I'm trying to cultivate a long-term career rather than get every job right this minute. That'd be putting too much pressure on myself. I'd go crazy if I thought like that.
I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.
Acting is an aesthetic career, which is annoying.
I'm neurotic about children. I see dangers everywhere - sharp corners, stairs.
Jane Austen's characters for women are always very strong, opinionated and elegantly written, so they're always great for an actress to have a chance to do.
I defy any woman that doesn't feel more elegant and more groomed and ready for an evening than if you have a blow dry.
I don't think any actors love taking their clothes off on film, unless you're an exhibitionist, which I'm certainly not.
My mum is a bit unconventional; she's outdoorsy and has more of an emotional intelligence, whereas my dad is pragmatic; he's a businessman.
I have no sense of direction at all. Thank the Lord for my TomTom, otherwise I'd spend my whole life lost.
Always take earplugs and an eye mask. It doesn't matter where you are. Even if you're in the best hotel, if there's road works outside, then you're screwed. So I take earplugs and an eye mask with me wherever I go.
I think if you have a good night's sleep, you can take on the world.
I love jewellery, but it's something I go through stages with. I have my go-to pieces that I will bring out and wear for weeks at a time.
The weather in California is so much hotter than it is in England that it's absolutely changed my style. I have many more dresses and shorts than I ever thought I would coming from U.K.! It's so much easier to dress femininely in a warm climate.
