Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.

I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.
