I think it's so important to be healthy and confident and natural. And not put too much stress on trying to be thin - I don't get the thin, thin thing at all.

The greatest thing is that usually the auditions you think are bad are the ones you get.

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.

It's pretty disabling sometimes, the terror of not living up. My expectations are the worst.

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 saw this cool interview with Amy Adams from when she did 'Enchanted' and played a princess, and when kids came up to her with no make-up and ripped jeans on, she said, 'I'm off duty. I'm an off-duty princess', and I thought that was quite sweet.

With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.

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

As an actor, you get a bit itchy to do something entirely different.

I feel like, sometimes, characters that are just good and nice can seem boring or uninteresting.
