I started off as a model and struggled for some time until I got a break as an actress. I was too stubborn to let go and was sure I was in the right place at the right time. I just fought and I think that's how I am where I am today.

I think I have been very lucky as far as my acting career goes.

Even my parents are so cute, and they deal with every movie of mine excellently. They check with me ever so casually by asking 'Now how much of nudity are we going to see in this one?

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

Where is this Hollywood scene, where is it? I'd like to find it one day... If I want to go out and have a good time, I go to New York.

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.

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