Tuppence was what my grandmother nicknamed my mother, so she gave it to me. My sister is called Angel, and my brother was going to be called Bubba or Sonny, until they let me and my sister name him Josh. – Tuppence Middleton
I just enjoyed telling stories. I enjoyed watching films and reading and becoming someone else. I spent a lot of time on my own when I was younger; I enjoyed my own company and still do, so it was a source of escapism. – Tuppence Middleton
You want a career. You don’t want to do a couple of good films and then your career is over. – Tuppence Middleton
I think I would’ve been a bit terrified to have gone and done a lead straight away. Obviously great if you do, but it’s all about longevity. – Tuppence Middleton

I’d love to have a room full of taxidermy. I’d be devastated if my cat, Archimedes, ever died. I was debating the other day with a friend whether I should stuff him, but don’t know whether he would end up looking like himself. I’d be really sad if he looked strange. – Tuppence Middleton
Since Kate Middleton came around, some people think I’m related to her, but unfortunately, there’s no connection. – Tuppence Middleton
