I've always been someone who's kept my private life a little private. When there's a ring on my finger, I'll talk about it.

I don't come from a film background. I haven't learned anything about films or film-making. But I have a thirst to know everything about my profession. I want to learn about cinematography, about editing, about music recordings, about post-production. So when people in the know talk, I willingly listen.

I wasn't even prepared to be an actress. I was 17 when I came out of high school, and suddenly became Miss World and then I became an actress.

The joy of creating is the truest joy.

I don't want to be a stereotype; I want a character that's aspirational.

I'm not usually a follower of trends - I like to set them a lot more. I don't like things that people have done already, then it's no fun for me to do it.

I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.
