“For modeling, I was always creating characters. I dress like a tomboy. So, when I’d go into a shoot, there’d be all these dresses, and I’d say to myself, ‘Okay, this isn’t me. It’s somebody else. So, who is this person?’ Acting is the next level of that.”

Being such a tomboy growing up, that was one thing that changed me as a person, as well. It broadened me, like me cracking myself open in a certain way.

For me, being onstage for an hour and a half, my confidence was really huge for me. Doing eight shows a week for a run.

I think it was four years ago when my feelings were changing towards the industry.

I was obsessed with those films in my teens. I remember watching ‘Badlands’ and being amazed that there were these scenes in which nobody said anything and the silence told the whole story.

Not just in modeling, but in society, there’s so much pressure about what a woman should be, and, of course, it’s just so unobtainable.

It will appeal to girls who are confident and have a strong personal expression of style and identity in the way that they dress and what this says about themselves.

I’m just learning and growing, and overcoming the fear.

You watch her, and you can’t help but notice all of that about her. She’s so influential.

I’ve always got on with lads, more than I have with girls.

Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do.

Fashion isn’t me, even though I work in it. It’s just materialistic stuff.

Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it’s the feel that matters.

Well, I suppose I’ve never really had a lifestyle that needs upkeep. I don’t get cabs; I’m on the Tube with my Oyster card.

I just want to do whatever makes me happy…Like being totally conscious. Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do. Being with friends, having fun…being a bit daft.

It is captivating, isn’t it? England has such a great scene of electronic music, and I think that was very prominent in Pusher, and the nightlife was the beat of the film.

Anyone would be up for a little bit of a change. It is so rewarding to do a movie, and so enjoyable. It’s hard work, but really wonderful.

They say an actor is only as good as his parts. Well, my parts have done me pretty well, darling.

I had heard about how people struggle and how hard it is to get into acting. But I did not care because it’s something I love.

I think we need to get back to truth-based news. It won’t be easy, but we better do it because otherwise we’re not acting on information.

Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self… When acting, you’re someone else.

As it must not, so genius cannot be lawless; for it is even that constitutes its genius – the power of acting creatively under laws of its own origination.

My first inspiration for acting came from the first episode of ‘Hannah Montana.’ That’s when I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actress.

I was acting with all my childhood heroes: Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, all of those amazing women.

We need to practice acting in spite of fear, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of discomfort, and even to practice acting when we’re not in the mood to act.
