I long for the countryside. That's where I get my calm and tranquillity - from being able to come and find a spot of green.

My father always said, 'Never trust anyone whose TV is bigger than their book shelf' - so I make sure I read.

Any opportunity to get into fashion and find a beautiful dress, I'm very definitely excited about that.

My mother taught me how to apply my own makeup at 13 years old, and the most important lesson I learned is to never touch my eyebrows and to cleanse, tone, and moisturize twice a day.

All of the press and stuff - that's the scary stuff. The acting is what I got trained to do.

Drama school is fundamentally practical. I didn't write any essays, so I came out with a BA honors degree in acting.
