“'Cinderella' touches on loss, and there was definitely a strong sense of grief in my life.”
“There are other things I want to focus on rather than staying in shape.”
“I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it's a balancing game.”
“I love singing so much. As a kid, that was what I wanted to do.”
“When the board games came out of the cupboard when I was a kid, I had to beat my two brothers every time.”
“People talk a lot about, 'You're a Disney princess! You're Cinderella!' and this and that. But for me, it's all about the fact that I worked with Cate Blanchett and was directed by Kenneth Branagh. That's the 'Cinderella' story for me.”
“In anything, I always give my all. I'm not a good loser.”
“I admire actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, who says what she thinks.”
“There's nothing wrong with falling in love and sharing your life with someone.”
“I played Nina in 'The Seagull,' and I remember thinking it's incredible to see all the actresses in the past that've played her. It's quite strengthening. You feel a part of the family of actresses going through and giving something of themselves to the role.”
“No one looks twice at me when they're around, and 'Cinderella' has made no difference. And I know that isn't going to change.”
“I think I feel most like a princess when I'm sort of bursting with happiness and love, so whether that would be, like, with my boyfriend or my family or at a really fun party - just when you're full of life.”
“I remember meeting the princesses at Disney World and getting their autographs.”
“Ultimately, 'Cinderella' is the story of the underdog. You root for her in this fairytale; the girl who has nothing, deserves so much more, and gets it.”
“I want to be Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid.'”
“My mum thinks I'm amazing at everything. That unconditional love is just the most precious thing you can have.”
“My dad lived on Sunset Boulevard for a couple of years as a waiter, and he said he'd do a different character every time somebody sat down, just to get some practice.”
“I think it's so important to be healthy and confident and natural. And not put too much stress on trying to be thin - I don't get the thin, thin thing at all.”
“Sadly, I've never met Princess Kate.”
“I don't do anything with my brows.”
