I never forget my old days and I never fly too high I have my feet fixed firmly on the ground!

My main aim has always been to do good quality films with roles that have some substance. With Power and Beauty there were loads of things that I liked about the movie, which made me opt for it.

I was a tomboy right from the time I was a kid and loved to be like that. I'd hate all the girlie things. Well my best friends as a kid have been boys. I get along best with the opposite sex. I guess that's the case with most people though!

Today, I guess I give a lot more thought to the roles before I sign them.

When you're doing some things that are damaging you, you don't really realise it at the time.

Well, thank you. I do exercise in fact I am an exercise freak. Can't do without my regular work out. I'm not letting you in on any more of my secrets!

I began as a model, but that did not really hold my interest for too long! I believe I stood out from the parade of models trying to make it in Hollywood, which helped launch my career beyond the one-night-stand horror movie.
