My mum has told me that I have to work with Antonio Banderas just so that she can meet him and try and marry him.

I would love to make a Brazilian film, but it would have to be something very close to my heart. It's such a personal thing, so I'd want to do my family proud. I'd want to do justice to Brazilian cinema. I think Brazilian cinema is brilliant. I would really love to do something, but I'm just waiting for the right thing.

'Skins' wanted to create a new thing by actually casting real teenagers. I think it was very brave of them. They also wanted to give the opportunity to people who didn't go to drama school.

Who doesn't want to shoot for 'Vogue?' I remember updating my Facebook status to say 'Doing 'Vogue' today', it was so exciting. I thought it would be really intimidating, and I don't like photoshoots, but that was the most relaxed one I've done.

I love dressing up, but I do find the red carpet thing quite stressful. When I went to Venice Film Festival last month to promote 'Wuthering Heights,' I told my boyfriend beforehand 'I will be a nightmare, I will cry, I will be nervous.' Actually once I was there, it was fine.

I've missed London so much for its fashion. No disrespect to the girls in Manchester, but some really do look like clones - there's a lot of hair extensions and fake tans. You're free to experiment down here.

I remember doing my first school play. We were doing 'Oliver Twist,' and I was cast as Oliver. It was the first time I ever felt brave and confident and truly happy about something.

My mom always let me watch movies that were probably slightly too mature for my age, but she wanted me to see different stories. We grew up with quite a hard life, so she wasn't afraid to show me that in movies.

I'd like to think that even if I wasn't acting professionally, I would still be doing it for free. It helps me get through the day.

In England, there is this tradition of the upper classes going to very expensive drama schools and then going on having careers. I knew that wasn't an option for me. My mother would never have been able to afford that.

I got incredibly lucky, and you have to be if you want to be quite successful.

Considering what the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' film is about, I wouldn't be able to play Anastacia.

I think, like every actor, you've just to pick what you're interested in.

At 21, you've come out of the craziness. Maybe you've been to university, but now it's time to get serious. It's the age where you make decisions about your life.

When I'm at work, I do try and embody it as much as possible.

We're all lucky to be working, and I'm glad to be employed.

I don't stay in accent or anything, but internally, I get quite dark and destroy myself a little bit. But that's what I do, and I enjoy it. It's how I do my work.

When someone shouts 'Skins' at you, its funny the first time. But after a hundred times, you think, 'I do have a name.'

The best part about doing 'Wuthering Heights' was you were completely in that world. It could not have been done with CGI. You had to be there.

I do have a lot of respect for the girls in 'Hollyoaks.' It takes a lot of effort to look like that constantly. I couldn't do it.

'Skins' has been such a great thing for our generation - I don't want it to become a parody of itself.

My friends still see me as the girl they went to school with. We're very much home bunnies.

It's important to enjoy the moment.

I'm not good at dressing up. I always feel a bit out of place. It's just not me - high heels and designer dresses - and I can't seem to get used to it.

My mother is amazing. She moved from Surrey to London, taught herself English, and found a job.

I wasn't good at anything very much at school, but I did like drama.

I consider myself a Londoner first, and then I consider myself Brazilian before I consider myself English.

On 'Skins,' we only ever filmed for a couple of months in the summer. When I wasn't on set, I was doing my normal things.

A lot of my friends back home are boys, so I do well with boys I like.

I love my job every day. So whether it's for four years or for two weeks, it's still... And when you're working on a set, it feels like a family straight away.

I don't think there is enough youth employment or enough push for youths to kind of do want they want to do.

I'm not the best auditioner.

I'm a Londoner, so I'm a bit feisty.

It was hard to go into the world and start auditioning as real actors. Having to pay bills was rather scary, too.

It's nice to know that a studio is willing to put a female in a film without expecting the character to have a love interest.

Everyone asks, 'What's your goal? Do you want to win an Oscar? Do you want to work with Meryl Streep?' No! I want to buy my mum a house. I want to make her proud.

As a teenager, you're still discovering who you are, what your life is about, and who you want to be as a person. It's very intense.

I was very hesitant about doing a period film. It was very much out of my comfort zone; I'd never done anything like that before.

I would have loved the opportunity to have gone to drama school, but it just didn't work out for me; there are always several paths, and there's a reason why I've been down this path.

I am quite proud that I managed to prove that you don't have to be able to afford drama school or have the right connections to do well.

We come from a very humble background. A lot of my paycheck from 'Skins' went to paying the bills and getting us a new sofa.

I like to have fun. I'm also a bit of the crazy one. All my friends are boys. I was bullied a lot by girls in school. There was also too much drama and demands.

I think of women as an all-being creature.

We should just be good humans.

I've wanted to produce for a long time. I'd love to get a bunch of my girlfriends together - a female writer, a female director - and create something. Creatively, it's a different dimension. Why wouldn't people want that?

I can't wait to take my son to see 'Wonder Woman' - I can't wait to show him all the female characters can be well-rounded people.

I think really good drama comes down to real human emotion. That's what makes us all tick, and that's what I've always been drawn to when it comes to scripts is real human emotion and dealing with that.

I think a lot of people, when they don't quite fit in in the world, use humor to combat that and to find their place in society.

I played American when I was, like, fourteen, and I was awful. I cringed the whole way through.

I'd love to find a really good Brazilian project, an up and coming director or something. I wouldn't want to do the typical favela story, Brazilian cinema has a lot more to offer than just that.
