I do like fantasy films.

I was so dorky up until I was about 14 or 15 and started to get a little bit cooler, but I was a socks and sandals girl. I would wear big frilly socks with sandals and all the kids would tease me.

When I did my first film I kind of fell into it. I got cast in this movie called 2:37... the director, Murali K Thalluri, basically saw me and said: "I'm going to put you in this movie." And that week I felt like a void had been filled. I was so in my element. I was thrown in at the deep end.

I love being able to help and encourage my friends and I try to inspire them as they do me.

If you are having fun on screen, it shows.

I came from rather humble beginnings.

I think, for me anyway, music and film is where you can really transport yourself to another universe.
