I was neurotic and weird from an early age.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

As an actor, or as a person, I like to do things that are challenging.

I'm happy with the way I look, but I'm not Hollywood beautiful.

Ill-fitted T-shirts stretched over a gut are my pet hate. And if the colour's faded - ugh.

When I'm filming I live out of a suitcase, so everything is thrown everywhere. In real life, I'm a bit tidier.

I have to admit, I go through phases of being good and bad. When I'm being good, I go to the gym three to four times a week. I do much better in a class with other people. I like aerobics and circuit training.
