My plate is full with just acting. I want to focus on that, and then maybe direct in the future.
In my everyday life, I just wear jeans, t-shirts and trainers - if I can go barefoot, that's even better. But for the events I have a stylist, and in two hours we have selected a whole outfit.
I don't do Twitter, Facebook; none of that. My email I do from my Blackberry or my iPhone.
It's very much like a torture sometimes, the process of trying to get rid of an accent.
I am living for every day and trying to have less fear, less worry. But I have always worried about everything; it's in my nature. It's the thing that makes me suffer the most.
Every relationship ends, until maybe you find one that lasts forever.
I have a strong personality, and I say what I think.
I used to dance for seventeen years -classical ballet, which was very disciplined. I like yoga and Pilates, but I don't have the discipline to go to the gym.

I would always cast Meryl Streep for everything. I would do with something inspired by the work of Guy Bourdin, my favorite photographer.
I don't know why, but women in a hair salon share their deepest secrets.
I love ballet and I love dancing...... It's a little boring for me to go to the gym because I'm used to the dancing discipline - It's really hard, but much more fun.
I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being 'someone's girlfriend', and now I am happy being single.
When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel.
