I haven't done anything that can match up to what I learnt about myself as an actress and as a person or the friends that I made.

I'm going to Queen Mary's [university] in East London and I am trying to juggle it. Sometimes, it's really hard.

I study English literature but my friends are doing psychology and things like that. No one cares about acting there. It's not competitive and it's a nice environment for me.

There are loads of amazing actors in the UK and only 2% of them are in work, which is crazy.

Going forward, anything that Richard [Ayoade] asks me to do, I would be so honoured... even if it's sweeping the street because he's such a great person and a great friend.

You have to remain positive and just try your best and part of that is doing things that continually surprise people, including yourself, so that you don't get pigeon-holed.

When you do children's TV or one episode [guest] stuff, you have to listen, which is also a great thing to learn. But you don't have individual input.

I get very nervous in un-trodden territory but it's important to keep doing it just to prove to myself that I can do it.

Of course, you're always going to be biased but Submarine was amazing and I'm not surprised that people liked it.

I really admire police officers, surgeons, or anyone who works in high stressed situations.

I've done a lot of things for a very young audience so far, such as The Sarah Jane Adventures. I'm tiny and petite and I look very young, so I tend to attract those kinds of roles.

Vipassana meditation is not an intellectual journey but an experiential awakening.

Poverty has its advantages. When you're that poor what would you have that anyone would want? Except your peace of mind. Your dignity. Your heart. The important things.

I wear whatever I want whenever I want. I don't call it drag; I don't even call it cross-dressing. It's just wearing a dress.

We probably release 1% of the products that we are working on.

Be ready and willing to be a beginner every morning. That's how you grow and step into your greatness

Creating is always so much more stimulating than destroying.

Master water first and then paint.

As a people, we know what we can do, we know how to do it, and we just want to get on with it. How? By ensuring that Canada's place in the world is one of influence and pride.

And if after all this you eventually fail; don't take it personal. Don't be ashamed to start all over again.

Every step I take is a blessing.
