GEORGIA GROOME

I need good grades because I want to go on to do A-Levels. I'm just not sure yet about whether I will go to university, because I really want to see what happens with the acting.

You are what you are, and I'd rather be myself than try and be what I'm not.

There are times when I will dress up, like tonight for the premiere, but there are times when it doesn't matter. It's not that I think it's fake, but I'm not going to go out of my way to be something that I'm not.

I started out in theatre, and there's no better feeling than the adrenaline of being on stage.

I can't drive, so I don't need a flash car, and I like living at home, so I don't need a mansion. I'm sensible with money. It's not why I act.

I want to try everything I can; I want to push my boundaries and experiment with characters and genres that I have yet to try.

I can be immature. I know I can when I'm at my dance lessons or something. I become like the class clown. I don't know why. But I can flip in and out of it - if I need to be mature I can be mature, but if I want to have a bit of fun, I'll have a bit of fun.

Playing Joanne in 'London to Brighton' was my first taste of film, and I loved every second of it.

Honestly, I was only rested in rugby football; all my friends were boys, and I definitely didn't want to go on stage, but I just did it to keep everyone happy. I did some singing, dancing like they liked, but it wasn't my thing at all.

I was out with my mum when a man started screaming at me: 'Georgia Groome. I love you.' Mum and I just looked at each other for a split second - and then ran away as fast as we could.

'Tusk Tusk' is about a family of kids who are alone, the audience don't know why.

I think you grow up on every shoot you do. You do grow up because you're away from home, you're not with all of your friends constantly and in that environment you have to be grown up. You're working with adults and you're sort of expected to be older and that's how I like to put myself across. I don't want to come across as constantly messing about.

I went to a fancy dress party as a punk. I went through a stage of being a wannabe punk from the '70s. So, my next-door neighbours were like hardcore punks and I went to see The Vibrators and came home with a T-shirt that said "The Vibrators". My mum said: "You're not going out in that!" But I was really into it. I did soon grow out of it. But that's probably the most embarrassing story I have. I really am just quite normal.
