I've read 'Valley of the Dolls' at least four times. It's so epic!

The water in L.A. tastes like bleach. I literally have to make my tea with Evian water.

My first job was a film called 'Storm Damage' for the BBC. I was 16 and working with really respected British actors. I didn't have an agent at the time, and it kind of threw me into real acting.

I originally wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be Kylie Minogue. My dad thought that was a very silly ambition and introduced me to drama classes. Once I became fixated on that, there was no stopping me.

I love anything leopard print, but sometimes an all over print can be a bit much.

I grew up in London. My parents and I lived in West Norwood, then we moved to Norbury, and I went to the Brit School. I'm a South London girl at heart.

Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.
