I'm a big Johnny Cash girl. And I love singers like Laura Marling and Joanna Newsom.

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.

I was very aware of Jeff Buckley. My brother actually bought me The Mamas And The Papas and Jeff Buckley for my birthday when I was in my early teens.

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.

I do admit to being slightly in love with Christopher Walken.
