In a way, ‘Like Crazy’ keys into our generation, this idea of now we can still be in communication. Where do the boundaries of relationships end?
In everyday life, I like APC, Isabel Marant, but I also like Zara. It depends how I’m feeling on the day. I like clothes that have a certain strength to them – simple but graphic.
I think that my parents’ divorce gave me a very strong sense of self-reliance and independence. I realised that I needed to make sure I could support myself because you don’t know what’s going to happen in the future.
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.
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.
People keep saying how amazing it is having a female lead, and I just sort of feel, ‘Well, of course!’
I am definitely romantic, and I love romantic stories – that’s why I keep making romantic movies.
It’s funny how seeing a love story never gets boring, because it’s the dream, isn’t it? It’s the dream to have a true connection with another human being.
I was thinking ‘Love Story’, obviously, was a romantic film of that time.
It’s nice to have some continuity you can come back to. I feel that in coming home, coming back to London.
