I didn't go to acting school, so it was great to be able to rehearse for a month or two, to workshop, and be with a director who even gave me acting exercises.

I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

I thought people wouldn't take me seriously if too much acting was involved in the singing. But now I love the idea of mixing everything together.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

I think, being an actress, you know that you're getting old. I'm 44. I mean, an agent said when I turned 40, "It won't get better."

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

When you fight against your own weaknesses, there's something embarrassing about it.
