“To give a good interview, I often found it's a bit like acting, except it's yourself, so you have to be yourself.”

“Broadway doesn't pay that much.”

“I'm saving money like there's no tomorrow because, when I was at Juilliard, I had so little. They gave me a full scholarship because I didn't come from a wealthy family or anything.”

“My education was seeing and touching the world. I would read about the history of a castle with my mother - who was a teacher, so she home-schooled me - and then she would take me to the castle, and we would climb on it, and then I'd write creatively about it that night.”

“You can do a good job when you play it safe, but you can't do a spectacular job. You have to risk it and be in danger of looking like an absolute fool.”

“I played a very complex, multidimensional character - Piglet in 'Winnie-the-Pooh' - at age 7 in England.”

“It was nice to have a break from acting - there's a lot more to life than acting. And that's important - to be a good actor, you have to know that and to live that.”

“'To the Bone' is autobiographical. It's written and directed by a woman; it's starring all women, apart from me and Keanu, who are in lesser parts, and it's produced by women.”

“That's what I'm drawn to: playing characters that are completely different.”

“When you start a conversation about something that is under-discussed and you use art to convey it, I think that is incredibly powerful but is always going to create waves.”

“I got rejected from all the good drama schools first time.”

“I'm interested in so many different things and art forms.”

“Elle Fanning is my official stylist. If I'm buying a pair of sneakers or a suit, I just do what she tells me to do. She's my red carpet expert.”

“I just feel it's a shame to let fear get in your way and stop you achieving things.”

“As an actor, you spend years getting ready for an opportunity to arise, and when it does, you're ready for it.”

“I was really interested in observing people. From a young age, I wouldn't listen to what an adult was saying - I was obsessed with other people's body language.”

“I'm pretty careful about making sure that when I choose to do something, it's for the right reasons and that I really connect with it and care about it. So if the right musical came along, yes, I would totally do it!”

“Acting is a different beast on screen. I'm excited to explore that. But, of course, it's an honor to be part of the Broadway community. It's a dream just to be here.”

“I haven't felt anchored my entire life. But I kind of like it.”

“Sometimes you catch people's eyes during the show, which is horrible and awkward. I can always see the people in the front row, and sometimes you get people who are fast asleep. Maybe they had a long day at work, but that's an expensive nap.”
