The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.

Girls in scripts are often pretty but brainless, or geeky and no one likes them, so it's great to find richer roles. Chalk and cheese aspects of people are very interesting to play.

Performance became part of my art in a way - expressing things and emotion.

I'm really into strong, female roles - but they don't have to necessarily be loud - I'm just as interested in introverts too.

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

Before I go on stage, I knock three times. Three is my lucky number; I once went into an audition and was number 333 and got the best part ever.
