I don't always want a big meal after work - just some crisps and wine!

Location work has its charms, and can seem glamorous on the outside, but I think living at home and having the stability of a home life once you've finished work is very underrated!

It's always a help when you have worked with someone as you've got to know them a bit already.

I was picked up on a London street by a model agent. She took me to her office and then sent me to Paris to work in shows. It was supposed to be two weeks, but I ended up living there with my Zimbabwean boyfriend. I made enough money modeling and acting in French movies to buy a nice flat.

Once you get into your stride, the camera becomes like another person in the room. It's like being in a very small theatre where there is no getting away with anything because the audience is centimetres away from you.

I like being in love, but loving is what is crucial to me. Loving is the reason to live.

You can't ignore the system and the power you acquire as an actor if you're in films that are successful.
