One of the things I liked about my character in 'Run' is that she can just disappear into the background if she wants, which is what I'm like.

I was born in Scotland and have lived there all my life. I speak conversational Cantonese with my dad when I'm at home, and very basic Mandarin.

I'm not the type of person who enjoys the limelight.

In general, the auditions I go up for are very sparse, I guess because of my ethnicity. And the characters are very similar: shy, innocent and naive; the connotations that come from the way that I look.

I'm very quiet. I can go a whole week without talking, so doing interviews is really awkward for me!

I thought acting was all about natural instinct but I've realised, through working with so many talented actors on 'Wild Swans' and 'Run,' that I can see the training. That's why I am back at drama school.
