Olivia Cooke

I did ballet and gymnastics, and then I started acting when I was eight - just doing amateur theater at a place called Oldham Theatre Workshop in my hometown.

If I love the character, then that's all that matters to me. It doesn't really matter what genre it is.

I can't keep secrets about myself. I can keep secrets about other people, but if it's about myself, I'm like, 'blah blah blah blah.'

In life, I'm pretty low-key and quite non-descript.

My first big role was when I was 17 and I got the part playing Maria in 'West Side Story' in my school production.
