I was very much into science when I was young - I wanted to be a marine biologist, then I wanted to be a doctor, and then something else, I was always changing. Acting didn't come up until much later, probably about 16 or 17. I thought, "Oh, I quite like this."

I used to be absolutely addicted to the gym and I do still love it.

Being short works for me.

I appreciate individualism.

I'm not very glamorous.

I don't have an iPod! It's never appealed to me, really.

I love hotels for their solitude and comfort, but I believe a seedy one can have as much promise as a plush one.
