“For modeling, I was always creating characters. I dress like a tomboy. So, when I’d go into a shoot, there’d be all these dresses, and I’d say to myself, ‘Okay, this isn’t me. It’s somebody else. So, who is this person?’ Acting is the next level of that.”

A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don’t know where they get it from, sometimes.

I suppose each project is a new thing, so there’s all this excitement and nerves about this new thing.

I don’t really see myself as a big supermodel.

I get on with all my exes, so there’s nothing I need to forget about. I don’t know – life is shorter than it seems.

I don’t know what to expect for the next thing. There are always different people. It’s interesting.

I felt like it was really about people and how decisions and circumstances can change relationships.

Every single thing is like a new thing, so it’s never what I expect.

I can’t just settle for anybody. The fact is I’m choosy, but mainly about a man’s character. He has to be interesting, funny and clever. I don’t even mind if he’s not very good-looking.

I’ve always been really private about my personal life. I don’t talk about it.

I was like: “I’m actually doing this.” And now I feel more confident going into something.

I love ‘Breathless,’ and ‘Paris, Texas,’ and ‘Badlands.’

To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

I don’t think a name defines the core of who you are.

I’m like a boomerang, I always come back.

I had a really small role (playing goddess Aphrodite), and I was only working for just over a week with Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson.

I feel what is really great about Pusher is that it wasn’t about drugs and guns and strippers. That was just all circumstantial.

I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.

I think the performances that really communicate with me are the ones where I don’t feel like I’m watching someone and thinking: “They’re doing some really good acting.”

Very early on in this process though I studied acting in high school and college, soon after graduation,

My family was very supportive of my acting.

Now, I take my fees in cash, for acting, and keep the distribution thing separate.

Earlier, I used to charge territories instead of my fees as an actor, but I realised it was better to keep the two apart.

I wanted to be more hands on. Otherwise, every time you finish acting in a movie you have to almost go and beg people for the next job.

Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it’s the feel that matters.
