Lauren Socha

“I couldn't hope to be in anything better than 'Misfits.' The reaction from fans has been mental. The weirdest thing is when people tell me I'm their inspiration. I can't believe I get fan mail, and loads of free clothes. Adidas sent me lots of stuff; it's wicked!”

“It's dead nice to know I've achieved something.”

“I'm ready for theatre. I'm ready for dramas, period stuff, films. I want to achieve everything.”

“Derby born and bred, mate.”

“No one understands my accent. I'm constantly going to auditions and being told they don't like how I talk. You have to live with criticism, and I don't take it personally.”

“I love playing serious! That's a relief for me. It means something. It sounds dead corny and cheesy, but on a day-to-day basis, you can't just let loose and cry. So as an actress playing those gritty roles, I can play it quite decently.”

“I want to do theatre and I want to do period drama.”

“I'd love to be in a period drama, though my dream role is to be in a film with Ray Winstone and Tom Hardy.”
