Happy Birthday: Lily Collins

Lily Collins

Born: March 18, 1989 in Guildford, Surrey, England, UK

[on people who watched her movies] It’s very, very sweet when little girls come up to me, or when people come up and say that they’ve liked a film or that they’ve watched it with their family and been happy and laughed. That, to me, if I can help make people a part of a story, that’s what I enjoyed most about being little was that I was taken into another world.

I don’t feel the need to profess anything publicly or confirm something that in a normal situation you wouldn’t have to speak about. If I’m out and I’m photographed with someone, then it is what it is…That’s always been my natural feeling. My family went through a lot of public situations and I saw that side of it from a very young age.

I just did a film actually in Dublin where I played British, so it was lovely to be back in my natural accent, cause I haven’t had one since I was five. My natural accent when I was little was British and then, when I moved to the States, everyone made fun of me and I just adapted to an American one and now this is what comes out of my mouth. Now it’s just a bit of a hot mess.
