I was also told some years ago that I shouldn't 'waste my time' with female-centric films because the audience was not ready for it.

Every movie that I do, I always try and better myself in the next one and try and find a part which is more challenging. It's a little vulnerable to do that, to always push the envelope. You position yourself for a lot more flack or a lot more critique because you're trying to do something different. Sometimes you're good at it and sometimes you're not, but it's a chance you have to take to make life exciting.

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.

It's so stupid, so archaic to say that men are so stupid they'd give anything for sex, and women are...that that's the only resort we have.

When I became Miss World, I couldn't believe I had won it. I used to sleep with my crown because I was scared someone would steal it. In a minute the world changed for me.

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.

After reaching season two on TV series, having done a film, and receiving acknowledgment in America, I feel like now whatever I do will be on me. My choices will be mine; my disappointments will be mine.
