I toned down my accent at school; otherwise, people would pick on me.

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

I've never been a social bunny. I thrive on work.

When I was ten, I saw 'Grease' on stage and thought: 'I want to be part of that; it looks like so much fun.' My mum enrolled me in a local theatre group, and it all went from there.

I just believe that sometimes in life you're like a shark - you have to keep moving through water; otherwise, you'll die.

If I am not working, I won't wear makeup and I will wear flats.
