It's weird, the idea of someone else playing my dad, but weirdly nice.
— Lily James
I Googled myself, and I saw some nice things and some not-so-nice things. I've learned that that stuff isn't real, and it doesn't exist unless you look at it.
There's nothing wrong with falling in love and sharing your life with someone.
I thought it'd be interesting to play an off-centre character who doesn't have to be pretty.
I think everyone can feel like an outsider. I know I have. I've always felt like one.
I really have been lucky because I've always had a very healthy attitude to my body.
I feel like, sometimes, characters that are just good and nice can seem boring or uninteresting.
As an actor, you get a bit itchy to do something entirely different.
God, I used to have really skinny-crap eyebrows. They were such an ugly disaster.
For exams, I swotted so hard because I couldn't bear the thought of not coming first.
You have to pretend to be cool, which I never am.
Why do women always get pointed at for their bodies?
I think Beyonce always looks great.
To be honest, when I was growing up - I think it's because of Kate Winslet and 'Titanic' - I always wanted to do period.
As cynical as I can be, there's always a part of me that believes in love and the fairy tale.
With corsets, it's interesting when you put them on, realizing that's what women actually wore. They're just so constricting.
I live in dungarees, and I love denim - I wear denim shirts a lot.
You know that scene in 'Runaway Bride' when Julia Roberts puts on the amazing wedding dress and looks at herself in the mirror and goes, 'Swish, swish'? I loved that moment so much when I was a little girl.
I love London, but I love traveling, and I don't think I'll be here forever. Possibly, I'd like to move to New York and do a play in New York.
'Cinderella' touches on loss, and there was definitely a strong sense of grief in my life.
Drama school was a lifeline for me, it saved me. I found it very nurturing - I just clung on.
No one looks twice at me when they're around, and 'Cinderella' has made no difference. And I know that isn't going to change.
Corsets are always hard to wear.
In regards to your love life, you're just entering into a whole of pain if you talk about it. If you've never said anything, there are no sound bites to haunt you when you're crying into a box of Kleenex after it all goes wrong.
I'm dying to do a tiny indie and play something totally naturalistic without any sort of constraints on me. Something where I can shock everyone.
In anything, I always give my all. I'm not a good loser.
When the board games came out of the cupboard when I was a kid, I had to beat my two brothers every time.
My dad lived on Sunset Boulevard for a couple of years as a waiter, and he said he'd do a different character every time somebody sat down, just to get some practice.
I love to start the morning with a mist spray, especially after a night out.
I trained with Olympics Athlete Jeanette Kwakye - who is amazing! And Shani Anderson, who is an excellent Olympic runner. We trained five times a week; running, circuits, weights, working out in the gym, and on the track. It was an insane time.
Sadly, I've never met Princess Kate.
I saw Cate Blanchett in 'Big and Small,' and it was mind-blowing. The fact that she can do theatre and is also a huge movie star is really exciting.
I think Keira Knightley is amazing, and I've heard also that she is one of the coolest, most down-to-earth, brilliant girls, and I really look up to her in that respect. She's got it all, really, and I think she's made interesting, bold choices in her work.
I saw this cool interview with Amy Adams from when she did 'Enchanted' and played a princess, and when kids came up to her with no make-up and ripped jeans on, she said, 'I'm off duty. I'm an off-duty princess', and I thought that was quite sweet.
My dad did every single accent under the sun, and he would read bedtime stories.
I loved learning to fight and kill zombies.
It's weird when you get roles that coincide with your life.
Ultimately, 'Cinderella' is the story of the underdog. You root for her in this fairytale; the girl who has nothing, deserves so much more, and gets it.
I remember meeting the princesses at Disney World and getting their autographs.
For girls growing up, sometimes I think they get the wrong idea for what women should look like.
I'm learning a lot about how to be one of the 'good' actors. You'd hope that it's natural to be a good person, and kind, but I'm learning how to deal with long, sometimes boring days.
It's hard to see yourself as a princess because it involves a huge leap of the imagination and sort of requires you to believe you can be that, which is a scary, weird thing.
Top athletes are like warriors.
I admire actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, who says what she thinks.
The famous pilot season literally sends shivers down my spine.
I find cardio hard.
Any kid in the world can draw from strengths within - we all have the potential with that.
I want to be Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid.'
There are other things I want to focus on rather than staying in shape.
I'm a real hoarder.
