I'm very independent, creatively, always trying to push myself - and I think that comes from my mother.
I'm more of a freestyle dancer. I like to do my own thing.
I would work as hard as possible at school so I could keep acting alongside.
I cannot stand beer. But I love wine.
My mother was in the kind of late-sixties, early-seventies origins of female emancipation. And she was very much like, "You're not going to be defined by how you look. It's going to be about who you are and what you do."
As a child, I always liked dressing up and getting into character, and actors are lucky in being able to retain that playfulness, though we do seem to find it hard to grow up.
