“I'm deleting all my editing apps I used to slim myself down and airbrush pics.”

“If you're part of a show that is watched by millions of millions of people, of course there are going to be nasty comments. You can't take them personally.”

“I'm not afraid to admit I have therapy. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and it really does help.”

“I got really bored of sitting around waiting for work or for the next movie to come along that only 100 people would see. I got bored of being skint, of twiddling my thumbs, wondering how to take my life to the next stage.”

“The most important thing in the world is the moment you're in now, so take it and be grateful.”

“I'd got into the habit of needing that security, love, and acceptance from a guy to make me happy.”

“I don't make any plans. When I finish one job, I make the most of some time off, then get back on it again.”

“Being happy is a beauty. It's not about having the perfect face or perfect make-up.”

“I'm on camera all the time, so being body confident is important.”

“I want it to resonate: there's no rule for how to live your life. You can do things your own way.”

“I want a part playing a really ugly geek, with no make-up and my hair all tied back, so I could just be a character without worrying how I look.”

“If you ever get a chance to just plonk yourself out of the world for a bit - do it! It's so amazing.”

“'Adulting' will cover some topics that I, as a young woman, constantly think and worry about, so I hope others find it relatable - and funny!”

“I'm naturally a very happy person, but I've had times with depression and have got through it with therapy.”

“I had so much self doubt in the past, but I'm trying to push myself.”

“I worry about things constantly.”

“I bet I would make a really good daughter-in-law.”

“I know I'm in a very appearance-driven industry, but this is who I am, and there's no point starving myself into someone I'm not.”

“I've learned that I need to appreciate time by myself and that I don't need a partner to complete me.”

“My ex-boyfriend didn't hear me fart once, and we were together six years. I hated the thought of grossing him out, so I think some things should be left to do privately.”
