I want to be an actress when I'm on set, not just a model. Those are the moments I live for.

It's so hard to give beauty a meaning. I actually find quite a lot of beauty in really painful things. Really grotesque things. Things that are disturbing. I think as you go and as you see things in the world, your idea of beauty expands and I think I'm lucky because I've been exposed to so many different types of beauty and I've realized that any feeling you cherish is beautiful.

And that's something I've wanted since I was a young girl, to be able to be heard.
