Sophie Kennedy Clark quotes:

My mother is not a Catholic, but she's always tried to drag my brother and my sister and I to church from a very young age, and we have always put up a little bit of a rebellion against it.

Auditioning for 'Philomena' was such a traumatic experience because I had three callbacks, and I was absolutely positive that I was just an option.

What I find relatively funny is that I'm not a model. I'm five foot six and a half; I have absolutely no dream or desire to be a model, I don't live for fashion. But when an opportunity comes your way very early in your career, like Burberry, you do it.

It's not like they just open the gate to Hollywood and off you go - you earn your stripes. I worked ferociously hard even just to get an agent.

I love Celtic music and listening to it, but I just don't have the type of voice to sing it.

I was a feral child. Always on the go. My mother used to sew bells into my dresses so they would know where I was.

I'm a bit of a nomad anyway, so I find it quite easy to settle in places very quickly.

In real life, I'm very rational, and I'm not very dramatic.

My parents are a wonderful mixture of bohemian eccentric, but also incredibly practical and not airy-fairy.

If you're not getting work, make your own work. I think that's a good mentality. I suppose I take my drive from my mother and my practicality from my father.
