If I have the power to post 'Happy Birthday' on someone's Facebook page and make them feel really good, it feels really good to make other people feel really good. I love it. I'm a huge Facebook and Twitter person. And I love talking to my fans. It's fun.

The danger with playing someone tough is that the character can become two-dimensional and mean and nobody likes her.

Sometimes when you walk onto a set, there are very clear delineations. The crew don't talk to the actors and I hate all that. Everyone is the same to me and I always treat everyone in the same way.

I'm incredibly cheesy. I'm all about happy endings and all of that.

I hate watching myself on TV, I know a lot of actors say that, but it's true for me. It makes me sweat, I have to hide behind a cushion.

For people to come to you and say, 'Would you like to be a part of our show?' after years of 'Please tell me I'm good enough'... I can't tell you how wonderful it feels.

I never did any sports at school. It wasn't until I moved to America, to New York, when I was about 20 that I actually thought that if I wanted to be an actress I might have to start working out.
