I actually fall asleep really easily. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat, though, I have to make sure that all the doors are closed, the front door is locked three times, and then make sure everything is covered and look under the bed. ”

You have to have really thick skin. Art is obviously there to be criticized and there to be taken in different ways. Not everyone is going to like what you do. ”

The movies I used to watch, I remember always being so angry because I felt like I, as a teenage girl, was never truly represented in a film. There were always bits of me that were represented - I'd watch 'Juno' and be like, 'Oh, well part of me is like that, but it's still not the whole thing.' ”

I've set the bar high in terms of having a very feminist attitude towards how I present my body. ”

I feel confident that I'm presenting myself in a feminist way that is good for young women. ”

I feel like all teenagers can relate to that feeling of being, like, so highly strung, and everything is so on the surface, and everything is so extreme. ”

I started acting when I was young, and I didn't go to drama school. It was always something that I did alongside going to school and being a normal person. ”

My dad's an actor, and my mum's a casting director and a writer. ”

I was really quite geeky at school. At one point, I wanted to be prime minister or a mathematician. ”

I hope to teach people that it's fine to make mistakes because they will learn from them, to be who they are, and to learn to love their bodies. ”
