I love it if a man makes an effort to get to know my parents and sisters. Getting to know the people who matter to me goes a long way.

When I was little, I had a feeling that I was going to end up being an actress. I spent a lot of time alone, I was a very shy girl, and I would pretend I was telling someone about this new role that I got.

I always look for roles that make me feel good about being a girl. I have to say that there are a lot of roles out there that make me feel really bad about being a girl. You can imagine what the things are and I shall not go into detail.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to get to play a lot of really kick-ass girls.

Coming from being a dancer, it was a great way for me to transition into being an actress. I get to really be expressive through my physical self, and that was just a comfortable way for me to start experimenting with how to get my character across.

I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.
