When you sign up to a film, you sign up to everything that's in the script. I really believe in that.
Juno Temple
I was the kind of girl who'd peep through her bedroom keyhole to check if her dolls were moving.
That's the great thing about the 'Sin City' movies. Each little slot is incredibly meaningful, and each character has their own moment.
I'm so excited to see 'Horns' because it's so many different genres in one film. It's a sci-fi, it's a love story, it's a horror movie, it's a fairy tale.
I love going to the movies; I grew up going to the movies. I didn't really watch TV, growing up, other than weird cartoons like 'Beavis & Butt-Head.'
It's all about the director for me; we have to click. It's a trust thing. I'll say I'm ready to let down my walls. I'll cry for you as long as you need. But you're going to have to hug me afterwards.
I love Kings of Leon.
Social media... I need to get with it. Obviously it's what everyone's doing, but I like the idea of my life being mine. But at the same time, it would be awesome to be able to get into contact with people who admire my work.
My mum sent me to an open audition for 'Notes On A Scandal' so I could see quite how many other girls wanted to do this. And I queued up, and I got the job. That was my first-ever audition, and my second was 'Atonement.'
I've got a lot of '70s vintage. I'm a huge vintage junkie.
There's such an array of brilliant roles for young women. You read all these amazing young women going through different stages in their life - different stages, different fascinations, different textualities, different friendships.
I take fancy dress very seriously. I mean incredibly seriously.
The size of a studio film lets you see technology in a way that you wouldn't on an independent film, like the gadgets and the angles and all that.
You know, I do projects that I really care about. I hope I'll stand by that until the day I die!
I was brought up in a very open, rural countryside in the middle of nowhere. There were no cell phones. If your lights went out, you were lit by candlelight for a good four days before they can get to you. And so, my imagination was crazy.
In TV, it's so much more about the writers because they're the ones creating the universe. The writers are the ones who know what's up.
I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
I just did a part in 'Sin City 2.' I got to do a scene with Ray Liotta. Amazing man, extraordinary gentleman who was just so kind to me... I'm so excited about that; I think it's gonna be very cool.
But, I love making independent films. I love it! You create a family, and you sweat, you bleed, you cry, you shout, you laugh and you hug. It's such an extraordinary experience, making independent films.
I've been involved with some huge studio projects that have been bloody awesome. It all starts with a great script, doesn't it?
It's important you don't lose touch with reality because, well, reality's the only thing you've got, really.
It's so rare that you actually get the part that you really, really, really want.
I never want to sell my soul for something I don't believe in. Because guess what? Somebody somewhere in the world would have believed in that part and should be playing it - who am I to not allow that person that opportunity?
As kids, we lived in this magical world and roamed free in the gardens. I was obsessed with 'Alice in Wonderland.' My dad cut the hedges so that they started shorter and grew taller, so I could run up and down and feel like I was shrinking.
There will always be ways to pay my rent, whether I wind up having to be a waitress on the side or whatever it is, but I think it's so important for me to do things that I'm passionate about.
When I was younger, I played a lot of upper-class English girls. Then I came to America, and everyone was like, 'She's very believable as trailer trash.'
On an independent film, you really learn about pace. You have so little time to do things, that you really have to know your scenes.
I once used a fork to comb my hair because there was a time when I didn't own a hairbrush.
I think being in touch with your emotions is very key as an actor, and I think experiencing life is the only way to be in touch with your emotions.
But, I think it's great to be able to work with established directors, and then also first-timers. I feel like you learn from both of them, but then you can go and share your knowledge with each of them. That's really fantastic!
For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.
When I go home to England, my friends all make fun of me for sounding American.
I find standard American the hardest. It really fits in a different place in your mouth. Southern, I find the easiest. If you talk to a dialect coach and you get sort of technical, where an English person keeps their voice in their throat, a Southern person does the same, and it's got the same sort of music to talking.
I just want to work forever. I absolutely love what I'm doing. I learn all the time from all these amazing artists.
I'm a private person; I stick to my neighbourhood and eat in my little restaurants.
I think it's so exciting to try anything you possibly can.
If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important.
What's exciting about watching a movie, when it's finished, is you sometimes you don't recognize yourself, and that's when I'm really proud.
Daniel Radcliffe is one of the hardest working people I have ever encountered and someone that so loves what he's doing and so eager to learn and is so brilliant at what he does.
I've never been scared of snakes. I'm really, truly arachnophobic - I hate spiders - but snakes have never freaked me out. I think they're really beautiful.
I think it's so important when you're playing a character that you can't judge the person you're playing at all. It's a judgment-free zone. You have to just go for it.
I love the idea of playing women I think I'm going to learn from.
I'm actually constantly a bit nervous because I never want to disappoint anyone, you know?
Twitter goes straight over my head, but I like the idea of posting pictures because they can say so much.
Watching something like 'Orange is the New Black' - the development of the characters is amazing. Or 'Breaking Bad' or 'Mad Men' - those shows went on for so long. You become so invested in those characters, and I think that's a pretty magic thing.
I love independent films. I love going to see them. I love being a part of them because it kind of feels like 'all for one and one for all.' It can be really challenging but also really rewarding because sometimes you have to do so much stuff in a day, but I like that challenge, and you make such amazing friends.
I had this imaginary world where fairies were my friends. If you told six-year-old Juno that she'd one day play a Disney fairy, she'd totally freak out.
I get very involved in my roles. I want people to think it's all really happening. If I'm in it, I'm in it.
I never wanted to go to drama school. I thought that was too many eggs in one basket.
