I personally like to do independent films.

During my first visit, I was really struck by how deeply religious many Oklahomans are. It is a very conservative state and as somebody who grew up in a very liberal country, it was jarring to me at first.

In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand - this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama - and what's the point of independent film if you don't get to experiment?

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.

I felt different born into a family with two sisters who are blonde and blue-eyed, with me being the only brunette.

I started as a model in Holland and Chanel took me to New York when I was 19, after which I decided to stay.

I think there's a big misconception out there about actors and the choices they have.
