I like to take things one step at a time, because the entertainment industry is very uncertain.

I think that actresses can be in all different shapes and sizes, but it is a profession, and as an actor, your body is one of your big tools. So you've got to be fit in a sense.

Usually when I ask people to reach into my velvety pouch it means something different.

The good thing about being shy though as a child is that you become very observant because you're not really actively participating. You're sitting back watching everyone. I think that's really helped me as an actress because I'm good at observing people and then copying them for comic effect.

At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.

Because of my filming commitments in America, you have to sign contracts where you can't change your physical appearance.

I think I appear very innocent and soft, but I'm actually very dark and edgy. It's a weird dichotomy.
