My first car was in 2006 when I got on my first TV show - a BMW 328i2 four-door sedan in slate grey. That was a great day, that was.

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

Actors who say they don't watch TV are stupid. I was raised by TV! And it's how I research for auditions.

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 not Irish. Just because I have red hair doesn't mean I'm a lucky charm, you know?

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

I love science fiction stuff - I'm a bit of a dweeb like that.
