"I'm ambitious but I'm not particularly competitive. I'll try to get roles, as I think it's healthy to go for things, but... I think there's too much competition between women already. It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses."

"I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter."

Actor

There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot."
Funny
"They think I'm depressed because I look serious in photos. It's usually because I'm just nervous. But I've stopped dressing for other people. If I think I look good, that's the most important thing."
