“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.”

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.

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.

My mum used to always dress me and my sister in matching Laura Ashley dresses. And I’d be like, ‘Mum, I just wanna wear my Doc Martens!

I’m not the new anything; I’m just Agyness.

I don’t really go to fashion parties; they’re not my scene.

I want to play positive role models – women who mean something to other women.

I wish it were different, but my body clock wakes me up between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. I was even talking yesterday about how, if I want to get enough sleep, I have to be in bed at 10. That means I’m totally a grandma.

I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.
