The whole dream of having your own place is great, but the reality is having to cook and clean yourself and do the washing and make sure there's milk in the fridge. But you have to grow up some time.

I really like Billie Holiday's husky voice, and I'd definitely like to find out more about her.

I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18.

I like to hang out with my friends, go to the theatre, watch DVDs, read, play with my niece.

Most of my cousins are boys, so I'm used to being around boys.

If I wear make-up, then people recognise me, but the rest of the time, no one really bothers.
