There's always been a religious strain in me. I can't get rid of it. I don't want to get rid of it. I'm not involved in a church, but I understand that impulse to believe in something that's never going to betray you.

I think the environment is possibly our most worrying thing at the moment, so I think mountaintops are the place to live.

What really excites me is the unknown, and getting to grips with something you have no idea about.

I always vaguely knew I wanted to perform, but I haven't got the greatest singing voice and my dancing isn't up to scratch. Acting was really the only alternative. My parents have been really supportive throughout.

I don't know about writing. It's quite lonely. You have to have a lot of patience with yourself.

I'm drawn to damaged, complicated characters.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.
