Sophie Cookson quotes:

Mark Strong is an amazing person. I just kind of enjoyed watching him. He is just so calm, dedicated, professional, and an absolute gent as well.

I was really sporty and loved singing. I started off doing musical theater. I left university to go to drama school. So I was a bit of a black sheep.

I dream about my teeth, losing a tooth, which I think means that you want control back.

I think, for me, the main thing is feeling comfortable.

Whenever I've worn trousers or a suit, it always makes me feel sexy but effortless and confident.

I love the English people - if you don't want to speak, you don't speak. And I'm quite like that sometimes.

My approach to jewelry has always been to keep it very simple, but if you want to wear something, make sure it is exquisite and lovely and will stand out.

Sometimes relationships are short, sometimes long, sometimes they're very deep and intense, and drama school is a hell of a learning curve.

There is something very nice about coming to New York and how everyone smiles - even if they don't mean it. When I go back home to London and say hello to people, they look at me like I'm crazy.
