QUOTES
"I actually finished school at 16 and I don't want to go back. And my agent said I shouldn't. At drama school, they like to take you apart and rebuild you but I don't want to change now,""I played truant all the time. I was modelling so I'd go to shoots and call in sick."
"One problem though with spending so much time working with adults is that I lost my respect for teachers – and so I did get into trouble for being too lippy to them. I just didn't have the same fear as I might have had and they would get pretty angry about that."
"My older sister was really naughty and the queen of pranks. So I think when I came to the school I had to be really well behaved in order to win back the Egerton name from the doghouse. Also, as I was away so much acting, I'd really want to knuckle down when I got back."
"I was a real goody-two-shoes. I wasn't very naughty. I never smuggled in vodka or anything, I used to smuggle in tea bags – we weren't allowed them for some weird reason – then we'd have tea parties in the stairwell or in one of the fields. But we weren't exactly going to get into big trouble for being civilised, were we?"
"I am very different really to my character Chelsea in St Trinian's. She's a bit of a seductress. She and a couple of other girls have a sex phone line which they use to make money. It's called Posh Totty. Basically they are sluts but they like to think that there is a real art to seduction. They're into wearing sexy underwear with fluffy bits. I was too lanky to be a seductress at school. I think that's why I got my nickname Bambi. Anyway, I never fancied any of the boys. The school was too small so everyone just seemed like brothers and sisters."
