Lily Collins

I've had to prove myself. But I'm driven, and I would love to make my own mark on the world.

Don't let the American twang fool you. I still say, 'I'm going home,' when I come to England, and I love a good old cup of PG Tips with a Jaffa Cake.

I love mixing in high street stuff and vintage.

I've always been a huge admirer and lover of Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang. I love so many British designers like Stella McCartney.

I really, really love Lucy Hale.

I've grown up seeing the pros and cons but I love it and I've always wanted to act. Throughout all the rejections at auditions, and especially when I finally did get something, both my parents have been so supportive and always told me it is all about passion and, if I was doing it because I love it, there's no wrong choice.

I think it's just important to not judge people based on their physicality because it's really about personality and people's hearts and souls. That's what drew me to Audrey Hepburn who is kind of like my icon.

I did a show when I was two, but I didn't start acting as a child. I wanted to go to school every day and be with my friends and really have that experience.

No, I like to wear as least amount of makeup as I can during my everyday life because I'm just all about keeping my skin healthy and hydrated and I love to laugh and have a great time and smile - that's when I feel the most pretty so I just want to make sure that I stay happy.

I think, in life, we want to surround ourselves with people who make us think and question ourselves, and those are the types of films I want to do and the types of characters that I hope I get to continue to play.

I've grown up knowing that you put as much of your private life out there as you feel comfortable with.

As a little girl living in the English countryside, I used to go running around in the forests, creating my own fairy tale.
