I didn't know I wanted to be actor when I was four.I did it at the beginning because my brother did it before me and it was a hobby. I didn't mind doing it. But then it got more serious.

I'm going to Queen Mary's [university] in East London and I am trying to juggle it. Sometimes, it's really hard.

I study English literature but my friends are doing psychology and things like that. No one cares about acting there. It's not competitive and it's a nice environment for me.

There are loads of amazing actors in the UK and only 2% of them are in work, which is crazy.

Going forward, anything that Richard [Ayoade] asks me to do, I would be so honoured... even if it's sweeping the street because he's such a great person and a great friend.

You have to remain positive and just try your best and part of that is doing things that continually surprise people, including yourself, so that you don't get pigeon-holed.

When you do children's TV or one episode [guest] stuff, you have to listen, which is also a great thing to learn. But you don't have individual input.

I get very nervous in un-trodden territory but it's important to keep doing it just to prove to myself that I can do it.

Of course, you're always going to be biased but Submarine was amazing and I'm not surprised that people liked it.

I haven't done anything that can match up to what I learnt about myself as an actress and as a person or the friends that I made.

I really admire police officers, surgeons, or anyone who works in high stressed situations.

One-time revenue spikes that aren't repeatable won't help you achieve consistent year-after-year growth.

Do not aim low, you will miss the mark. Aim high and you will be on a threshold of bliss.

The truth is that problems won't just go away.

The sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth.
