“I sort of knew I was a bit of a drama queen. I always threw tantrums, so I knew I wasn’t a normal child.”

I could live without my phone. And one thing I’d love to do is experience having the freedom that kids had back in the ’80s.

I feel very lucky. My family and I have worked hard, and I feel very grateful.

My brother’s really well-spoken.

I have two hands: one for me, one for other people.

I am a really great daughter.

I didn’t do school plays… I’ve never done a play in my life, actually. Not even a nativity.

You don’t even realise how much you need Internet, but it really stops you from doing a lot.

With my platform, anyway, I want to try and do good things and want to help people.

I’m very outspoken. I will ask a silly question, but I really am deadly serious. I’m like, ‘I want to know the answer.’

I go by my instincts. It’s whatever I feel in the scene in the moment.

There are positive things that come of social media as well as negative.

The thing is, I get asked when I first knew I wanted to act so often, and I genuinely can’t answer it. It’s just… I got the bug, and that’s it.

I love Adele. Adele is my favorite artist. She’s British. She’s funny. She’s just an amazing, incredible voice, and I love to sing as well.

I actually have a punching bag right outside in my garden.

I don’t celebrate really crazy.

Singing is something I love to do. I feel very confident doing it.

The majority of children born into the world tend to inherit the beliefs of their parents, and that to me is one of the most regrettable facts of them all.

Spending time with children reminds you what a happy place the world can be.

Do not raise your children the way your parents raised you; they were born for a different time.

All my films are all my children.

Falling in love, you remain a child; rising in love, you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.

I am convinced that the norm in Russia should become a family with three children.

I have very good executives and great children. They’re very good.

As a child I grew up with a school curriculum that totally glossed over British colonialism and British slavery.
