Then, in 2000, John Reid, Elton John's former manager, asked me to audition for the stage version of The Graduate he was producing. So I worked on it, got the part, and after three weeks' rehearsal I was on stage!

Why would anybody lie? The truth is always more colourful.

I love good rock'n'roll, blues and jazz, gospel, and a little reggae.

Earlier this year I had my hair feng-shuied.

I think if I weren't so beautiful, maybe, I'd have more character

I've always gotten along best with artists.

I love doing theater so much - being in front of an audience and seeing how a character grows and develops with every performance.
