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'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.

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.

I've done a lot of things for a very young audience so far, such as The Sarah Jane Adventures. I'm tiny and petite and I look very young, so I tend to attract those kinds of roles.

When the business people get done with the arts, all that’s left will be entertainment.

Recounting of a life story, a mind thinking aloud leads one inevitably to the consideration of problems which are no longer psychological but spiritual.

It's my feeling that any writer can get an emotion into a story without being sentimental as long as the emotion is dealt with honestly, with sufficient clarity, and detail.

Art is no longer anything more than a kind of meta-language for banality.

It's easy to carry the past as a burden instead of a school. It's easy to let it overwhelm you instead of educate you.

When I have it in mind, I write it out.

When you get on base, holes open up and things happen and you're able to find a way to score runs.

Violence is the weapon of the weak.
