I never thought I would say this, but I'm desperate to do an action film.

I love to start the morning with a mist spray, especially after a night out.

There's nothing wrong with falling in love and sharing your life with someone.

My dad did every single accent under the sun, and he would read bedtime stories.

My mum thinks I'm amazing at everything. That unconditional love is just the most precious thing you can have.

I think Keira Knightley is amazing, and I've heard also that she is one of the coolest, most down-to-earth, brilliant girls, and I really look up to her in that respect. She's got it all, really, and I think she's made interesting, bold choices in her work.

Drama school was a lifeline for me, it saved me. I found it very nurturing - I just clung on.

I have an amazing stylist; she's called Rebecca Corbin Murray... I go around to her living room, and it's sort of exploding with dresses, and we go through them all, and she's so good at picking things she knows I'll like, and we work together. She's taught me absolutely everything; she's brilliant.

I trained with Olympics Athlete Jeanette Kwakye - who is amazing! And Shani Anderson, who is an excellent Olympic runner. We trained five times a week; running, circuits, weights, working out in the gym, and on the track. It was an insane time.

My mom passed down to me her old Levi's denim jacket. When I left it on a plane, I was devastated. I've never been able to find anything with quite the same cool, faded look.

It's hard to see yourself as a princess because it involves a huge leap of the imagination and sort of requires you to believe you can be that, which is a scary, weird thing.

I admire actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, who says what she thinks.

I naturally have a really small waist.

'Cinderella' touches on loss, and there was definitely a strong sense of grief in my life.

As cynical as I can be, there's always a part of me that believes in love and the fairy tale.

The Twenties outfits are all about freedom and loose, flowing lines, whereas in 'Cinderella,' I had to wear corsets and big huge skirts.

Mum would have a panic attack if she had to stand up and give a speech around a table.

When I worked with Bill Nighy on 'Wrath of the Titans,' he said to me, 'There's one thing you can promise me, and that's never, ever, ever read your reviews.'

In anything, I always give my all. I'm not a good loser.

I'm dying to do a tiny indie and play something totally naturalistic without any sort of constraints on me. Something where I can shock everyone.

I think our sense as actors of what we've just done - whether or not it be in an audition - is usually really not connected to any truth. I'm always asking for more takes and more goes. I think I just need to shut up and listen.

The first Disney movie I saw I think was 'Snow White.' I loved all the Disney princess movies.

I find cardio hard.

I played Nina in 'The Seagull,' and I remember thinking it's incredible to see all the actresses in the past that've played her. It's quite strengthening. You feel a part of the family of actresses going through and giving something of themselves to the role.

I don't like seeing celebs looking too skinny, I love it when they look healthy and comfortable in their bodies and embrace their curves.

When people feel good, they look good.

Any kid in the world can draw from strengths within - we all have the potential with that.

The world of the flapper - live free, wild and young - that energy is intoxicating. It's nice to inject that into the more controlled 'Downton' way of living.

I really have been lucky because I've always had a very healthy attitude to my body.

God, I used to have really skinny-crap eyebrows. They were such an ugly disaster.

Why do women always get pointed at for their bodies?

Sadly, I've never met Princess Kate.

Ultimately, 'Cinderella' is the story of the underdog. You root for her in this fairytale; the girl who has nothing, deserves so much more, and gets it.

In regards to your love life, you're just entering into a whole of pain if you talk about it. If you've never said anything, there are no sound bites to haunt you when you're crying into a box of Kleenex after it all goes wrong.

I think everyone can feel like an outsider. I know I have. I've always felt like one.

My first paid role was my first job out of drama school, which was 'Just William.' It was a BBC TV show. I played Ethel.

I want to be Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid.'

I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it's a balancing game.

Corsets are always hard to wear.

I think Beyonce always looks great.

For exams, I swotted so hard because I couldn't bear the thought of not coming first.

I saw Cate Blanchett in 'Big and Small,' and it was mind-blowing. The fact that she can do theatre and is also a huge movie star is really exciting.

I love clothes but it's a struggle for me to get out of jeans and a baggy jumper.

To be honest, when I was growing up - I think it's because of Kate Winslet and 'Titanic' - I always wanted to do period.

Diet Coke is the only way I get through filming because I get so tired.

I treated myself to a £700 Chloe bag after one of my first acting jobs. Then my friends pointed out that, for the same money, I could buy a flight to India. So I took it back.

I'm such a geek now with princesses. It's pathetic.

I don't have an exact moment when I decided I wanted to be an actress - it kind of was just really a part of my growing up.

I live in dungarees, and I love denim - I wear denim shirts a lot.

When the board games came out of the cupboard when I was a kid, I had to beat my two brothers every time.
