You can't be a kid in show business. You will not survive.

My mum and I do cardio kickboxing classes together.

I've had many nicknames over the years: V, Nessa, Nessy Poo, Nessy Bear and Van. Only my parents call me Van, though, and I hate it. I get embarrassed.

I'm definitely not a dancer. I can move well, but it's more about the acting and the singing for me. Acting and singing are completely different, so I can't say which one I love better because I love them both. I love acting because I get to play different characters. But I also love my music because I get to portray me.

I like egg white omelets with veggies, or oatmeal with almonds and fruit.

I'd like to win an Oscar.

I think it's really healing to see movies that are based on true stories. It builds so much more compassion and empathy.
