The first Disney movie I saw I think was 'Snow White.' I loved all the Disney princess movies.

I find cardio hard.

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.

I don't like seeing celebs looking too skinny, I love it when they look healthy and comfortable in their bodies and embrace their curves.

When people feel good, they look good.

Any kid in the world can draw from strengths within - we all have the potential with that.

The world of the flapper - live free, wild and young - that energy is intoxicating. It's nice to inject that into the more controlled 'Downton' way of living.

I really have been lucky because I've always had a very healthy attitude to my body.

God, I used to have really skinny-crap eyebrows. They were such an ugly disaster.

Why do women always get pointed at for their bodies?

Sadly, I've never met Princess Kate.

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.

In regards to your love life, you're just entering into a whole of pain if you talk about it. If you've never said anything, there are no sound bites to haunt you when you're crying into a box of Kleenex after it all goes wrong.

I think everyone can feel like an outsider. I know I have. I've always felt like one.

My first paid role was my first job out of drama school, which was 'Just William.' It was a BBC TV show. I played Ethel.

I want to be Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid.'

I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it's a balancing game.

Corsets are always hard to wear.

I think Beyonce always looks great.

For exams, I swotted so hard because I couldn't bear the thought of not coming first.

I saw Cate Blanchett in 'Big and Small,' and it was mind-blowing. The fact that she can do theatre and is also a huge movie star is really exciting.

I love clothes but it's a struggle for me to get out of jeans and a baggy jumper.

To be honest, when I was growing up - I think it's because of Kate Winslet and 'Titanic' - I always wanted to do period.

Diet Coke is the only way I get through filming because I get so tired.

I treated myself to a £700 Chloe bag after one of my first acting jobs. Then my friends pointed out that, for the same money, I could buy a flight to India. So I took it back.

I'm such a geek now with princesses. It's pathetic.

I don't have an exact moment when I decided I wanted to be an actress - it kind of was just really a part of my growing up.

I live in dungarees, and I love denim - I wear denim shirts a lot.

When the board games came out of the cupboard when I was a kid, I had to beat my two brothers every time.

I think it's probably best to work out in the morning to get it out of the way. My ultimate top tip is to drag yourself, even if you have to roll yourself out of your bed and in to a sit-up - it's really not that bad once you start.

Boarding school in Tring was a bit of a bubble that burst when I went to Hackney to go to drama school.

For girls growing up, sometimes I think they get the wrong idea for what women should look like.

You have to pretend to be cool, which I never am.

At drama school, we were taught to write down your dreams and carry them around in your wallet with you, and they'll come true, but I didn't do that.

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.

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.

The famous pilot season literally sends shivers down my spine.

Top athletes are like warriors.

I'm learning a lot about how to be one of the 'good' actors. You'd hope that it's natural to be a good person, and kind, but I'm learning how to deal with long, sometimes boring days.

I used to go to musicals every birthday - that was my birthday present. We'd go to London, me and my two brothers and mum and dad. I think I saw 'Mamma Mia' about five times.

It's so hard coming out of drama school to claim your right to be taken seriously and even get auditions.

It took me a while to warm to the '20s costumes on 'Downton.' I love it when women accentuate their curves, and that era was all about hiding them. The shapes they wore then were in tune with female empowerment. Cutting off their hair and hiding their busts was a way of saying, 'We're equal to men!'

Growing up, I was always prancing around and singing... and I just never really stopped.

I want to do more theater, which allows you to take bigger risks and experiment.

You are what you're portrayed as.

I loved all the princess films, and I grew up with them, and I think it's really cool how they've changed over the years - how the princesses have become more positive role models right up until 'Frozen.'

I don't do anything with my brows.

I love putting on a red lip. I don't do it so much for events - somehow, I don't seem to get it right - but when I just go to the pub or to a restaurant or something, I just put a red lip on.

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.

I'm a healthy girl.
