“When I first started modelling, as I was walking down the catwalk I just thought,”

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 dress like a tomboy.

I didn’t hate it, but I was yearning to do something different. I was on a gradient. It was a gradual thing.

I don’t expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.

I’m not oblivious to that connotation of changing careers, so I’m just going in and doing the job.

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 know I’m no Whitney Houston.
