I just happen to like the work. I like preparing for a role. I like reading. I like analyzing. I like literature. I like emotions. I like working with other actors.

Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

I think that natural beauty is very charismatic... I just believe in enhancing who we are rather than trying to manipulate or change it too much.

I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.

For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

I don't look at myself in the mirror. I'll flash past a mirror in the morning to check how I'm dressed, that's it.
