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.

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

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 still love taking pictures with Polaroid film. For me, it offers the most beautiful way of capturing reality and transferring it onto a flat piece of paper.

Modelling is a silly, crazy business.

I wasn't worried about turning 40 at all.

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