I couldn't talk as a kid because I stammered all the time, so I would just watch. I'm fascinated by human behavior. People surprise me all the time. And I love being able to morph into different characters.

I have sly eyes. When I was in school they always said, 'Emily can never be elected Head Girl because you never know what she's thinking.

I like fashion, I'm very partial to Marc Jacobs and Prada, but I don't want clothes to wear me. Ordinarily, I dress like a teenage boy in layered T-shirts and Converse gear. Emily, my fashion-obsessed character in The Devil Wears Prada, was an alien from Planet Fashion.

I mean, you try to make it as real as possible but when you have lines like 'The fallen eagle is Caesar; the vulture Octavius, and there is one, yet to be decided, who will betray them all'. And you're just like, 'Great, how am I going to make that work?'.

I think it’s about being a realist and being true to yourself, and your instincts and emotions; rather than it becoming a façade. With Tamsin, it’s all façade. She has kind of a frightening imagination. You have to have that as an actress. You have to be able to touch on those experiences that you haven’t had and characters that you have no relation to. It’s important to be able to dig deep, but I think it’s about being very real with yourself more than anything.

I was a hopeless drifter, really. I didn't know what I wanted to do, and then the opportunity to have an agent landed in my lap. I was just relieved someone else made up my mind for me.

I’ve definitely been in love. I’ve definitely invested so much in another person that I would put them before myself. I think that can be a dangerous game to play because you don’t look after yourself so much. I think it’s important that there is a quality of self-contentment in a relationship. But I know what it feels like to…it’s all encompassing.

I'd love to be exciting and say that I was the rebel at school, but sadly I wasn't.
