It doesn't make me very happy to be on my computer all the time. I've never been drawn to that world.

I've always cared about issues, always thought through problems. I don't know how much that comes from my personality or my mum.

I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.

I really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid. I think you see that nowadays, in this postmodern context, there's much more use of different mediums in contemporary art. For me, if you're a creative person, you can choose to make a painting, you can choose to make a film.

I was like most teenagers. I wanted to look more conventional - you know, to just be the pretty girl in school.

Every time I have to try on a wig for work, I get excited about the colour; I've often thought about going for a platinum bob or also raven black, as it looks so great against pale skin. But I always end up being loyal to my red colour.

The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
