“Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan and Hugh Grant films can really get you out of a bad mood. ‘Sleepless in Seattle’, ‘Pretty Woman’, ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ – there’s an innocent, pure, joyous quality about those films,” she said, adding that ‘Gossip Girl’ is her guilty pleasure.

She said she is a big fan of ‘classic cinema, with my spectacle and the songs and the drama’.

Is there a film that made her want to be an actor?

“Yes, but it was an English film. `Gone with the Wind`.”

“‘Gone with the Wind’ and MGM musicals like ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’ and ‘Singin` in the Rain’ – this kind of show-girl performances, you know, razzmatazz, that`s the kind of films I grew up on. Everything, ‘White Christmas` – you know, Bing Crosby, I just found everything very ideal and dreamy and perfect.”

That made you want to act?

“Yes, but that for me honestly was also kind of also the way I came into cinema. With that kind of aspect of larger-than-life films, songs, grand, grandiose, scale, glamour spectacle.” Now, she is looking forward to a prequel to ‘Game of Thrones’. “I think it has Naomi Watts in it. `Girls`, I don`t know if they`re up for another season but I absolutely loved the show”.
