As I’ve gotten older there’s just more awareness around what is good for my body internally, externally, physically. It’s all about reading labels and being aware and conscious of what goes in.
I was a dumpy teenager. My mum was a model and was all about looks, so I rebelled by going goth. It took me years of peeling back the onion to finally stop using make-up as a mask and feel comfortable in my skin.
There was the period where I wanted to be a therapist, if the acting thing didn’t work. That was pretty much it. I don’t know why. I was just always the girl that people would come and talk to about their problems.
Life is funny. Life isn’t categorized into comedy, drama, action, is it?So I don’t know why they try to categorize everything. It drives me crazy-why it would have to be just a romantic comedy or…I want to have a little integrity, a little story, you know
I realised how paranoid and guarded and not trusting – walled-in – I had become. Not consciously so, but just this armour that I kind of have, protective armour. It’s not for my friends or family, but for being.outside in the world, always on guard.
