“There became a clear connection from Diana's unstable childhood to her looking for something welcoming. We knew she was a very warm person who gravitated towards people. She was looking to be embraced in something very warm and very familiar, and she didn't find that at all; she found the exact opposite with the royal family.”
“Why did the rejection of the modelling industry get to me so much? I think the answer is that these rejections were based on how I looked and I had always prided myself on a healthy amount of self-confidence which I was now rapidly losing.”
“I never looked up what a Midwestern accent was; I just did a very generic one.”
“You do your job, you come home, and then like try and drown out the rest. I think it's a really important mindset to have, especially if stuff starts quickly and you're young. Because the rest of it is scary.”
“I think in America, people have this, I think you guys have an obsession over the Royal family in a way that we don't. Because I guess we just live with it.”
“I think I'd be lying if I said it didn't help me in my journey with everything to play someone like Diana. She was so openhearted to everything and explored so much.”
“I love figuring people out.”
“I wanted to quit school, and get an agent. My parents wouldn't let me. They wanted me to have an another option, to get a degree under my belt.”
“I think that's what Peter Morgan does so well, is to show very balanced sides of everyone.”
“I wrote a lot as a child. I had an insane imagination.”
“I think Diana was a very friendly person.”
“Costume is integral, but it clicks into place last.”
“I'm such a playlist poacher.”
“Schitt's Creek' has become my go-to, comforting favorite; it's a they-feel-like-my-friends kind of TV program.”
“Just because I've played this character doesn't mean I have any understanding of what Diana was like, at all. Although I'd want to say she was incredible, I understand I also have no authority to say that.”
“But to be honest, for me it's always going to be about the story, and it's always going to be about how I feel about the work.”
“I was a huge tomboy when I was younger.”
“Every time I ask someone to tell me, 'What animal do you think I am?' they always say a bird, because I'm very flighty. It's the worst one.”
“I am a people-pleaser. I don't like letting people down.”
“I am a trained singer, but I had to unlearn how to sing with a coach, because Diana wasn't trained.”
