dairy since
I don't eat any dairy products at all, usually - it's a self-imposed ban. I've done it for a year now, since I was ill, but it's so hard.
I don't think you can judge something without seeing it.
art artist became interest towards
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
opportunity
I get over-excited by every opportunity that comes my way. I end up doing too much.
good life met papers
I keep seeing in the papers that I am good friends with Samantha Cameron. I've never met her in my life.
love scar shaped showing
I love showing my scar on my tummy - it is shaped like a question mark.
films love men
I think I just love films where men have complete breakdowns.
art saved
I think I was lucky I got into art college. That's what saved me.
seen
I think it was Elisabeth Shue who said that if you start a movie with a woman seen through a man's eyes, that woman is objectified by him throughout.
