If I have an hour in a city, I go to vintage stores first because it's so much cooler to find a piece that is unique. I love the thought of some girl having worn it before and living her life in it.

I had never done any serious acting before, but I decided that it was a chance that I should take.

I don't look at fashion the way other people do.

When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body.

I am very much aware of the visual side of things. I do a lot of photography. I often take Polaroids of things that strike me as visually interesting, just to remember them and perhaps use later.

I am a serious food lover and Peruvian cuisine is one of the best in the world.

There've been times when I've bought a whole pound of cheese and walked down the street and eaten it in one go.
