Even just pestering people with questions, and being nosey and pushy and getting her way, are things I think many young women grow up struggling with, to assert themselves.

As an actor, you never really set out to be a stand-out character. You just want to do justice to the story and enjoy playing it, and find all the different nooks and crannies of who someone is. For each part that you get, they're all special and you just try to give everything you can to each one. I don't know whether they're going to be stand out in that way or not factors into my work. They all stand out for me.

When someone new comes on and has their first nude scene - and even if it's not full nudity - it's always a weird, awkward setup.

But we joke around a little bit with the newbies who are trying that stuff on for the first time.

Even just pestering people with questions, and being nosey and pushy and getting her way, are things I think many young women grow up struggling with, to assert themselves.

It is said that our destiny is set, predetermined before conception. But I myself, have never been a believer.

I don't see myself going back to blonde outside of work though. I really like the red.
