I would often go on as myself, when I wasn't working. And the first time I went on as myself, two people came up and asked me what I was doing and who I was.

But then I got a job selling coffee at the York Theatre, and when I met theatre people, something clicked. I felt comfortable with them; I felt like myself. I decided to go to drama school based just on that feeling. I had never done any acting.

We are a very close family, and I love them very much, but I'm definitely the odd one out. I live a completely different kind of life style. I always was different. I felt like a fish out of water; I really never knew who I was.

It's naive to think there is a woman in the world who isn't brought up to believe that they are waiting for their soul mate. You even see it in Disney.

You can't keep things secret in a film anymore. Once you realize the secret's out, you might as well go with it and not pretend that it's not there.

I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.

I've always thought if you watch the performance and you don't know about the person, then you only see the performance.
