What people don't realize is that these cars carry up to 120 mph speeds. The laws of physics say the parts keep going when the car hits something.
I was always told at school that you had to have a back-up plan, but all I ever wanted to do was act. There was no plan B for me.
There are so many elements that make a good film. You need a great director who's driving it.
I was lucky enough, when I was younger, to have the chance to do as much as possible, and I found what I wanted to do. I did swimming, gymnastics, kickboxing and the one that took off more than the others was acting.
