On Nick:
"I got linked to Nicholas Hoult when he was in Skins. I was 14 at the time and played his sister! For the record, I’ve never been married to Nick Hoult. I did go out with Jack [who plays Cook] for a year and we were open about that in the press. Filming is an intense environment so it’s natural that relationships happen. We had a good time and I loved him a lot. He was a great first love and we’re still good mates, which is amazing considering most people hate each other when they split up. I was nervous about working with him after we split but it was amicable so we slipped back to being friends very easily."
On body image:
"Being on screen means we’re forced to scrutinise ourselves more than most women. I had terrible self-confidence when I was younger. I was paranoid about being too skinny, I had no boobs and looked like a boy. It got to the point where I wouldn’t wear short sleeves because I hated my skinny arms. I remember filming my first scene in a bikini and I cried and cried. But, as I’ve got older and met some new mates who helped boost my confidence, I’ve accepted that everyone is beautiful in different ways. And a padded bra works wonders!"
On her ex-boyfriend, Jack O'Connell:
"I really could have married him, but it was much too young. And then it broke my heart. I spent a week in my bedroom crying thinking it would never get better. But i’ve learnt so much from it and i’ve gotten so much stronger."
On the character of Effy:
"She's speaking now, which is an improvement! Effy's always trying to help people but in her own weird way which I like about her. She's grown up over the past two years. She's starting college so she's got a new bunch of people to play with; she's working out who she wants to be friends with and who she wants to sleep with..."

This is taken directly from the dvd commentaries. I noticed a lot of people wanted to know what he had to say about this. This is what he says during the last scene of Cook, Effy and Freddie together.
"The kind of point of this sequence, I suppose, I mentioned it earlier, is that Freddie makes the mistake of thinking of leaving and Cook picks up on that, seeing his bag. And I suppose for that, he's punished, is what Neil(?) the scriptadapter would say if he was here. But that's his kind of transgression - he should've been there for her through thick and thin and realize that something was wrong with her and he eventually does, of course, but it's too little too late. "
