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

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

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.
