SHE SAID WHAT?

-"First acting experience - so that was just, incredible, I never thought that I'd get it, I really didn't. I still can't believe it - you know, it just seems so weird, and seeing it up on the big screen. I kind of disassociate the finished product to when we were actually filming because the two seem so different."
-"It's like a dream ... one minute I am walking across the playground to maths and next, I'm flying to Hollywood to meet the world's press."
-"I did a couple of plays at school like everybody else but I was never the lead in them or anything. I wasn't the most confident person and probably the least likely to do something like this. I fell into it by luck" (on acting)
-"I really, really loved ... the Disney version when I was younger. And I was always really jealous of Wendy, because she got to fly and do all these amazing things. And I had a bed cover with the Peter Pan Disney version on it. And I just loved that. I really enjoyed the story. So when I first auditioned for this film ... I thought I'd better read the book, because I hadn't actually read it before. And so I read it and I really enjoyed it, although I found it quite hard. There were loads of long words and stuff that I didn't understand. But yeah, and then when I read the script I just couldn't believe it. I thought it was fantastic."
-"At home, when I go to school, I have a completely normal life. I go to just a normal secondary school. I mean, my friends were really, really supportive of me. And a few people have been suddenly wanting to be my best friend, and they've kind of ignored me before that. ... When I came back from being in Australia [where the film shot], and there were some people I got teased by, but mainly ... everyone has really supported me. But suddenly being in Australia and .. working on a film set ... was just incredible. It was just such a weird thing. And it wasn't like I imagined. I imagined ... there would be a lot more time to relax. But if I wasn't on set, I would be in tutoring. And if I wasn't in tutoring, I would be in stunts. It was just mad all the time. So it was completely different being in school than being on a set."
- "I live in Surrey, but up until the age of eight I lived in London. And the way I heard about this Peter Pan film was there was an open-call audition that I'd heard about, or read about, and I just thought, 'Oh, I'll go along for the fun.' Because I never dreamed in a million years I'd ever get it. And I've always liked drama; I've always found it really fun, like, I did go to drama club and things like that. But I never thought I'd get it. I just, when the film came out I wanted to be able to say, 'Oh, yeah! I auditioned for that part!"
- “Wendy's a really great person. She loves adventure, but still has a girly side. If I had lived then, I would have loved to be her friend.” “It's not fun to cry. Your friends from the set can't talk to you because it will get you distracted from the scene, so it's hard and tiring and just not fun. One time I spent a whole day crying and the next day I could have broken an arm and wouldn't have cried because I was just totally drained of all crying.”
-"Well, I'd love to do a couple more films. That would be really, really good fun. But I'm definitely set on being a marine biologist."
-" There's alot of talking I did with the director before hand...there's conversation learning the accent...doing the stunt preparations....When you've been dragged across the floor screaming and crying kicking and flaying it's kind of hard to maintain the same energy level as on the tenth tape but..it was fun.
