“All my stuff is men’s fashion. It’s always oversized shirts, boyfriend blazers and trousers.”

All the photographers were trying to just get me off, which was hilarious. But it was very, very amusing.

I think for me, home needs to be a sanctuary. I need to feel like I’ve escaped the day when I get home.

Particularly on social media, there is that level of detachment, some people feel like they can say whatever pops in their head .

I’m always listening to music to pump myself up.

I definitely don’t get recognized so I don’t have to deal with that.

I think the thriller aspect of this film [Fifty Shades Darker] is what excited me most.

I think working in the industry, I’d be pretty nervous to have a celebrity crush.

I did get a letter which was pretty alarming once. Well, it was sent to the Fifty Shades production office. And it was pretty … I’d say interesting. I don’t really want to go into that. But otherwise the response has been good, thankfully.

I did dancing and singing when I was little, and then when I was 12 years old my friends were taking speech and drama at school. They were private lessons, and I started doing that. Over the years everyone else dropped out and I just kept going. I loved it.

In Australia, everyone gets a nickname and people started calling me “Izzy” and I hated it so I just adopted Bella.

I was always into performing and dancing as a kid and acting was a safe place to have all my feelings, which is good as a child.

I’m just a psycho myself. I loved playing Leila [from Fifty Shades Darker], taking on [a character] who’s completely unhinged. I saw her as a girl who’s grief-stricken and she just doesn’t have the tools to cope. Grief and heartbreak, it makes you do some pretty crazy things.

I think there is something about L.A., fortunately: once you get one role people think, ‘Oh well, someone employed her, so maybe we can.’ I mean, that’s my idea of it, anyway. ‘She can put one foot in front of the other and say a line.’

I collect skulls; I think that a beautiful skull is a really good gift for a guy.

I think working in the industry, I’d be pretty nervous to have a celebrity crush. I’d be pretty nervous if my boyfriend did as well because inevitably you’d end up working with them and then it would feel very suspicious.

I don’t really cook meat. I eat a bit of seafood but I’m not really into meat and the idea of cooking it is pretty intense.

I did stand-up, weird and ignorant stuff about my career – anything for a laugh.

I always teach myself calm and visualization stuff.

That’s great. God is using that stuff and it’s great.

Then the hippy stuff like Pink Floyd started to raise questions about how I lived my life and the world in which I lived.

You can’t always just put color filters in 80s aerobic videos or take stuff from public-access and look at it in this very ironic, self-conscious way. That only takes you so far.

It’s important that top clubs don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the English Premier League and English players should be involved.

I don’t write all my stuff.

With all this stuff going on, with the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” and things like that, we are second-class citizens, definitely.
