Lily James's Quotes

• The first Disney movie I saw, I think, was Sneeuwwitje en de zeven dwergen (1937). I loved all the Disney princess movies.
• I think it's probably best to work out in the morning to get it out of the way. My ultimate top tip is to drag yourself, even if you have to roll yourself out of your bed and into a sit-up. It's really not that bad once you start.
• Boarding school in Tring was a bit of a bubble that burst when I went to Hackney to go to drama school.
• I played Nina in 'The Seagull,' and I remember thinking it's incredible to see all the actresses in the past that've played her. It's quite strengthening. You feel a part of the family of actresses going through and giving something of themselves to the role.
• I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it's a balancing game.
