I loved the movies and I wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was so glamorous and everyone seemed to love her. I wanted to be like that and I told everyone I would be the next Marilyn Monroe.

I love the fact British men act cool whatever the situation so I'm planning to recruit there.

I think, at a certain point, it's better for women not to have any alcohol because it can make your face, breasts and midsection get very bloated.

My weakness is dark chocolate. I carry little tins of it in my purse.

I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.

Don't be late to the theater. The opening scene is a goody.

TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more.
