Quotes
I remember writing 'I want to act' on my bed in lipstick. I think I
told my mum I wanted to be an actress and she said I needed an agent to
do that. I must have said: 'Well, I'm going to get one' - and I think
that's why. She was devastated. She said: 'Please don't be an actress,
be a doctor or lawyer.' But I was very tunnel-visioned about it all.
I'm an only child and I spent a lot of time alone. I played a lot of
imaginary games. I just wanted to dress up and be weird, I suppose.
