Anything negative that happens to you in life can be turned into a positive as far as acting is concerned. You can draw on your experiences – it’s far better than any research.

I really like the bohemian look, and I’m a great fan of mixing vintage and modern.

I wasn’t getting obliterated, but I was getting a kick. I was very method on that. That’s why I’d have gone along with it [if Tom had hit her]. But Tom was like: ‘Oh my God – I hope you don’t murder me!’

I love all the premieres and everything that goes with it, but my favourite part is being on set and to go to work and enjoy your job. Not many people can say that in life.

I get a lot of single mum roles - 'It's a Free World' turned out well, so people thought, 'She can be a single mum, Kierston can do that. Or live in a council house - she can do that.'

I really hope acting is going to be my career to the end, but you don't know anything, really, do you?

I believe life is fated - what's going to happen will happen.

I was studying to be a legal secretary when I was called to audition for 'Ken.'

I get bored very easily. I do like excitement.
