Andrea has been interviewed in the Dazed & Confused February 2011 issue (via The Fashion Spot) and the Independent. In other publicity, an excerpt about her from the Telegraph's set visit:

"'I was so passionate about Brighton Rock from the outset,' she says. 'So I decided not to do a different film and had a bit of a rejig of my schedule and swapped round. It was wonderful and it all worked out brilliantly.'
'Andrea inhabits a role completely,' Joffe [Rowan Joffe, director] observes, 'and that's quite a dangerous and difficult process – to really lose yourself in a character, especially one as dark and victimised as Rose. But as well as being a great actress, Andrea’s a solid Geordie lass who has both feet on the ground.'"
