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 love theatre. It's far more satisfying than film. Sometimes there's a collective sigh from the audience, or it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop. I couldn't believe how easy acting was when there's an audience; after a few previews I almost couldn't do it without one.

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.

I'm single and looking and failing miserably. I'm keeping my options open.

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

I like Joaquin Phoenix. He's an amazing actor and he's so buff.
