“I just do normal stuff. I’ve always exercised. I go to the cinema a lot. I live close to my dad, and my brother Alex, who is three years younger than me, is round the corner. Friends come to me house, I go to theirs. I’ve spent so much time away that maintaining friendships is something I feel really proud of. Even though I’m pretty manic, I’m usually the person they call in a crisis. I like being there for people."

"The worst date I’ve ever been on was a guy who told me he couldn’t be friends with fat people or anyone who was unattractive. I realized pretty quickly that he was a nutter.”

"I love acting and I love performing but when I am not on stage I am quite shy."

“Recently a woman took my arm, looked at me very seriously and said, “You’re quite pretty in real life.” I didn't quite know how to take it!”

“My character uses her sexuality to get her to places she wants to go”

“I try to live my life as normally as possible. I honestly don’t think I’m any different, and I try not to let my head get big with fame.” 

"If I'm having a bad day I just remind myself to be thankful that my body works and that I'm healthy, and I try to focus on things that are going right about my day."

“I have been to a lot of music concerts lately. Listening to live music and getting to dance and be in a crowd are things I really like."
