I didn't want to escape my life and become a big actress and live my dreams. That was never the way it was; it was just these amazing opportunities that happened.
Going out is the typical thing when you turn 18, but it's not really much fun when you have a recognisable face.
I feel people care so much about their appearance - which is important, and I do still care about my appearance, but not that much. There's far more to life than that.
I can't ever see myself playing the romantic lead because that's not me; I'm not that girl.
I don't wanna be liked just because I'm pretty.
On 'Game of Thrones', the people that I've met, of the people behind the scenes, was not even a scratch of the vast crew that actually does work on that show.
I think a lot of people on Twitter say, 'Oh you're really cute. I want to adopt you,' and things like that, yeah.
I still study dance, and it's definitely something I want to incorporate in the future. It's always been my first love.
When you're filming, it's very different from what you see on screen.
Most commonly, I've been recognized from people who aren't actually from England.
I'm so excited to be working on 'Doctor Who,' as it's such a big and important part of British culture.
I seem to be landing a lot of roles with animal interactions, which is amazing.
People actually really want to see what I'm up to, and that's crazy.
When I first watched 'Coraline,' I thought, 'If that ever got adapted...' If it was done by real actors, I think that would be a really fun thing to do, just because it's a kind of whole new universe.
