#Quote
1They had stuffed cats you had to pick up and hold. It was like, 'Ewww.' And me being a vegetarian, and I don't wear fur - I'd come home smelling of dead cats!
2I figured if I did something wrong, they'd be, like, 'Oh my God, why are we working with her?' But they were really nice. (on co-stars Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig)
3I walked past the cinema on the way here, and there's a 'coming soon' poster for the film. It's not a particularly big picture of me, which is good because if it was massive I'd be scared and feel like I could never go to my local cinema again.
4One of the things Nicole taught me was, no matter what happens in a scene, you carry on even if you fall in a dustbin. If you get out of the bin and just carry on they might end up cutting it and using part of that scene anyway. But thankfully that's never happened to me.
5Daniel is very funny and really nice but he does swear a lot. So we had a swear box and he had to put in £1 every time he said a naughty word. By the end he owed me £55.
6"I feel like I can relate to her. I like to think I'm quite brave. I stand up for myself. And I don't let other people tell me what to do. Well, unless it's my mum." - Talking about Lyra, her character from The Golden Compass.
