I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that

People are always surprised that I have a funny side because I'm usually so intense, strong and dramatic. But, I'd love to do something really, really silly and funny.

The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star, or one of the trainees or someone who's new.

I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes, ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff.

I'm a firm believer in doing things that scare you.

I understand men much better than most women I know.
