I'd love to do more independent films.
From Holliday Grainger
I seem to play a lot of troubled kids.
I did a year at Leeds, studying English. They basically threw me out, because I was taking too much time off to act. So I transferred to the Open University, because I could do it all online. By that point, I had admitted to myself that I had the acting bug.
I don't really have any strategy for my career.
I'm very lucky, as I've never ever felt any pressure from any producer to lose weight, whereas a lot of actresses have.
Long scenes of emotion are quite difficult - you've got to build up to them and make sure you're in the right emotional space.
It's always really surreal, being on a film set, but inside a beautiful, massive scene.
I love the opportunity to do lots of different kinds of projects - independent films and big studio epics as well. I'd love to be able to do a mixture.
Jack Thorne writes so well for messed-up teenage girls.
I auditioned for a musical, and I can't sing. It was a kid's film musical, not a stage show, so I thought I could get away with it.
