I feel completely safe in my house but all my friends are scared for me. And of course I can tell my parents panic a little. The best thing about living alone is being able to have my friends come over whenever.

I'm not good with catty girls. I'm too laid-back.

I have three closets in my bedroom.

My mum and I do cardio kickboxing classes together.

We all have the same needs. So it's immoral to make snap judgments about people.

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.

Movies and acting are so much fun. I love playing different characters and doing different genres. It's all still very interesting to me.
