There's so much of a desire in the entertainment industry for newness, a desire to build somebody up and then treat them as old news within six months. I think you'd be naive if you didn't try to hold on to your own way of doing things.

I've been very lucky. Directors I've worked with have been very amenable to changes.

I want to be paid fairly for the work that I'm doing. That's what every single woman around the world wants.

Image
I cry at the end of every episode of Girls. I'm just so overwhelmed by the truthfulness with which [Lena Dunham] conveys human nature.
Felicity Jones
Image
I don't have much time for shopping so I pick things up when I can. My favorite labels are APC, Isabel Marant and Agnes B because the clothes are cut small and have a simplicity to them.

I think Nelly [Ternan] actually has something very conservative about her, and she's very judgmental of (this other character's) situation, and can see that's about to happen to herself. So she judges it even more harshly [because] it's what she fears becoming.

I always had a very strong sense of independence. I really liked being able to buy my Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill album. I wore that as a badge of honor. I love not having to rely on anyone.

Image
I couldn't do what I do without my friends and family.
Felicity Jones
Image
What's amazing about the show [Girls] - the first (season) is about the girls and then the second (season) is about the boys as well. There's something so human about it.
Felicity Jones
Image
I think in every character there are aspects of yourself that you bring to it. But then it would be really boring to just play yourself.
Felicity Jones
Image
Most of the time I was in the background. I never played [the Virgin] Mary. I was always kind of the third angel.
Felicity Jones
Image
I always wear the shoes of the character a week before going on set the idea of just putting on a new pair of shoes on the first day of filming is just horrific.
Felicity Jones
Image
I like to keep pushing myself and trying things out. I get easily bored, so I need a challenge.

Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.

Image
Those moments when you don't feel self-conscious, when you escape that, are when you produce something meaningful.
Felicity Jones
Image
I think that when something happens when you're growing up, like a death or divorce, it does open the world slightly because things aren't as straightforward.

I'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside. In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.
