“I never knew modelling was what I wanted to do. I was just meandering through life having fun, having a laugh with my friends.”

I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.

When you’re young, you say it how it is, and even your views are, like, ‘This is totally the truth’, ‘cos you don’t know any difference, so there’s a real confidence in your way of thinking.

I’d like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.

I think that you can’t fake doing the job. All I want to do is deliver. That’s my focus.

For modelling, you have to be such a strong person in a way – or seen to be a strong person, do you know what I mean? But in acting you have to get in touch with all the vulnerability that you carry.

You know, even though I’m in fashion, I don’t, like, do fashion. Fashion isn’t me, even though I work in it. It’s just materialistic stuff.

You can never become that thing, because it’s such a projection.

I’ve never had formal drama-school training; I’ve just picked things up as I’ve gone along.

And what I love is that it’s such a creative process, with a bunch of people, and I wanted that more, which is how the acting thing came about.

If you have a connection to someone, it doesn’t matter what their exterior is.

I’d done a few short films before and thought acting was really creative, but when I worked with those guys, I was just like: “Wow!” They had such fun and freedom. They were trying things and stretching themselves. It was so inspiring that I was like: “I definitely want to do this!”

Please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over!’

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.

Something just happens. Everything changes for a reason.

I’m all alone. There has been no man in my life for several months now and although it would be nice to have a boyfriend.

I suppose I have stopped modeling officially. I’ve not done any for a good long while now.

I was born with a priceless gift, the ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others.

Every laugh is not equal. They come from different places. That’s sort of the challenge I go towards, making sure the laughs are for the reasons I want. It becomes a back and forth dance with the audience.

The most exciting thing I aspire to do is to write something new that I know is going to work, or perform something that I know is going to make people laugh.

A good laugh makes any interview, or any conversation, so much better.

When you’re a young comedian the first thing you want to do is get a laugh.

They want to let the audience figure things out and let the reaction shot get the laugh.

Analysing comedy is like dissecting a frog. Nobody laughs and the frog dies.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, an’ it keeps on laughin’.
