1. I love America a lot. I really do.
2. If I’m really honest, I’m not a huge fan of scary films.
3. My dad moved to London in his early 20s and didn’t really go back. So the irony is I’ve spent lots and lots of time in Ireland, but not with my dad. I’ve shot films in Belfast, where he’s from. And I’ve shot in Dun Laoghaire. Which is great. And I’ve shot in Dublin.
4. I love art, but not in a cliched, luvvie way.
5. You collect people to take with you. Some people change, other people don’t… it’s wonderful because I’ve met some incredible friends.
6. With ‘That Awkward Moment’, you could argue I’m just playing the girlfriend of Zac Efron, but the director was such a creative force and let me make her my own. I loved being part of something that felt so relevant and fresh.
7. ‘Fright Night’ I can just about deal with. Because the original is such a 1980s extravaganza. Which is a good thing. Obviously. But something like ‘The Others’ or anything psychological: I’m no good with that. I don’t like it when there’s space for me to use my imagination.
8. San Francisco, coolest place ever.
9. I’m not a huge fan of scary movies, but I love doing them because your character arc gets condensed, and everything is elevated, and so you kind of have this amazing opportunity to go in many different places.

11. I don’t think I’ve ever met any single person who has been vulgar. But you know, you learn along the way that some people are going to be very generous, and other people… It’s just not innate within them. Sometimes I think you just have to decide if you’re going to stand up and get on with it or if you’re going to be crushed and threatened.
12. I’m a big Johnny Cash girl. And I love singers like Laura Marling and Joanna Newsom.
13. I was about 14 when I started with a theater group; it was like a stage group on the weekends alongside school. And it was run by a group of guys who’d been to drama school themselves in London. So they introduced us to techniques that they’d learn about, and they kind of informed us about improvisation and screenwriting and all of that stuff.
14. I’m lucky in that I have close friends and family and my agent to advise me.

19. I still try to be a feminist in some tiny way.
20. It is a difficult one, as you get scripts where women are just objects.
