I have no sense of being famous - you're just working. And then you'll have a random day in London when you'll do some press and it creeps into your awareness that this goes out - that what you do every day goes out to televisions right across the country.

Being in 'Doctor Who' has been so amazing. I don't think I will ever have a job quite so fun ever again. I feel sad because I am going to leave, but with any story, it has to come to an end.

I've got a coin with my face on it. It is really bizarre.

I don't like modeling, but in terms of the places I got to visit, it was great.

It's good to go with your gut instincts in life. You just should. Even if it doesn't work out, something good will come out of it.

I would like to think I'm a good secret-keeper, when it comes to friends. I'm quite loyal like that.

I like being involved in interesting and creative things. I'd just rather be involved in creating it, rather than being in it.

I wanted to be as authentic as possible because, first of all, Jean Shrimpton is still alive. And, she's interesting enough to be played accurately. I didn't need to add things.

I had a lot of alone time with no brothers or sisters running around, or anything. I would just sit and imagine things, all the time.

I suppose I am one of life's naturally clumsy people; I don't drop stuff all the time, or break things, but I'm just generally a bit flustered.

How do you create chemistry? If only I knew that! Some people say it's a natural thing that you have with someone, and maybe it is to do with that, but I think you can work on it.

I never cared about modeling. As a model, you're powerless.

The last thing you want to do when you are about to film a scene is think, 'Oh my God, so many people are going to watch this.'

I was one of those weird children that just couldn't talk to people, so I kind of had to make myself be not like that because I knew it was going to hinder me.

I want to be like Robin Williams, really. It's all the different characters he does, all the different voices.

I know what it's like to be a model and go to castings where some people like what they see and others look at you with distaste.

My own fashion sense has been influenced by 'We'll Take Manhattan.' It's gotten a little better.

I went to Floridita on Wardour Street when I was 18. All I could afford was pumpkin soup and a glass of champagne, but it was worth it.

I just feel so flattered, because the cosplayers really make sure every detail is there. I don't think I've ever cosplayed a character before, but if I were to, I'd probably go as a Klingon from 'Star Trek.'

I really love Alexa Chung's style. I really think she gets it right all the time. I've never seen a picture of her where I didn't love the outfit.

Basically, I always go to vintage shops rather than going shopping for new clothes.

I don't actually do any exercise, which is really bad. But I wear heels a lot. My theory is that it's painful, so it's gotta do something.

I'd like to make over Marilyn Manson and just dress him really normally to see what he looks like. That'd be really weird!

I dyed my hair pink when I was fifteen.

I would say probably not being able to do what I want to do and not being completely fulfilled and happy. I don't know how that would manifest itself in a mirror. It's just that feeling of not being satisfied with my life would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me.

All I look for is good quality stuff. Whatever I read, if I like it, then I want to do it. It's as simple as that. I don't have a master plan of, "I should do this genre, and then this."

I actually don't have a problem with shooting and then just walking away and forgetting about it. I'm not really like a Method actor or an old soul. It doesn't stay with me.
