“Normally, you have to wait for the costume department to help you out of costume.”

“I love dressing up, though I have to hide my rubbish hair in a hat.”

“My friends would howl if I claimed I was androgynous - I'm not tall enough!”

“I'd hate to be really beautiful on telly and then have everyone go, 'It's all make-up and lighting.'”

“I like twinsets, and I'm famous for always wearing crop tops.”

“I'm really good at pretending.”

“I'm a massive shopper. Topshop, Urban Outfitters - I'm pretty at home on the high street.”

“I was obsessed with 'The Sound of Music.' I always feel nostalgic watching it.”

“I loved 'Pulling.' It was so original and hilarious. I remember being very sad when it finished. I'd love to start a campaign to bring it back, but if I did, the actors would probably say, 'We're fine. We're all really busy, thanks. Please don't!'”

“I do loads of one-pot things because I feel like you can't go too far wrong. And I make a lot of soups and casseroles, which is so boring, but it's the only thing I can do!”

“If me and my friends are feeling decadent, we go for afternoon tea.”

“When I was ten, I had a weird cinema party where I invited everyone from my street to come. I pretended I was an usher and tried to sell them all popcorn.”

“I'm not even speaking to people any more; I just want to be reading my Kindle the whole time!”

“Being recognised on the street in New York is pretty surreal.”

“I listen to a lot of old music, like Joni Mitchell and David Bowie.”

“I'm really rubbish at putting anything on my skin, because I don't like the feel of it. But I do love Kate Moss' Rimmel lipsticks - I keep them in all my coat pockets.”

“I'm quite low-key - Isabel Marant is one of my favourite designers.”

“I tend to go to the theater a lot. I've always loved it.”
