I've read my grandmother's memoirs and she served as a nurse during World War II. What they had to do was incredible.
I just really think every job I do, I get this gypsy attitude to money.
Before I go on stage, I knock three times. Three is my lucky number; I once went into an audition and was number 333 and got the best part ever.
I remember stealing some pic n' mix when I was seven; when I got out of the shop, I burst into tears.
I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.
I'm hungry for a cold and mean character - I'd love it if someone thought I could play gritty. I want to play a baddie, someone really scary.
I'm really into strong, female roles - but they don't have to necessarily be loud - I'm just as interested in introverts too.
I really enjoy auditions anyway because I think that even if you come out of them, and you go in once and it never goes anywhere, there is something that you bring out of it or a note that will come back to your agent and that's the way you learn.
