I always start a film thinking I know how to do it, then I learn all over again.
He [directo Park] gave me a sculpture, a jaguar. It is the animal, obviously, and it is in my bedroom at my parents' place at the moment. But I am just about to move into my own place and I shall put it somewhere there. I shall make sure it has good lighting. This will be my first place of my own and I am so excited.
Fame is useful in certain ways, because it helps you get more roles.
Doing an accent removes you from yourself and reminds you, every instant, that you're playing a part.
Dance is such a stressful environment.
I read a lot of books. So, usually when I go home I try to re-charge my batteries and absorb new stories to become inspired again.
I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.
Even if you're independent, I think you get lonely.
Although I'm not particularly troubled myself, I do have a lot of empathy for troubled characters.
I really like trying to find the roles that are actually really meaningful to me.
The wardrobe is always the last piece of the puzzle. When you step into the clothing, that's the final step to figuring out that character.
Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.
I would hope everyone would be a feminist.
I wanted to be a dancer from when I was about nine or something like that and started ballet. I used to really like it and got into it and did it full time for a couple of years. I did a lot of ballet but I traded that in for acting when I was about 15.
