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

The fragrance that suits me best is Romance by Ralph Lauren. It seems to blend into my chemistry, so it is nice and subtle. I don't like to be doused in scent. This one is feminine, fresh and a bit musky.

I've rarely played glamorous roles. I don't mind looking plain on camera.

My mum said she remembers me asking her if she'd take me to ballet lessons when I was about two and a half. She said I could barely speak, and yet was asking for ballet lessons.

When something is dramatized it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news.

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.

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