For an actor, personal and professional life are two different things, and marriage is something which happens in everyone's life, and it is the same with an actor, too.

I believe that your personal life does not have anything to do with your professional life.

If my role requires a certain kind of dialect, which I think I am not confident enough to do, I'd prefer a dubbing artist then. There shouldn't be a selfish motive, and it's always better to have a certain understanding between the director/producer and the actress.

If you analyze my career graph, you will see that I'm slow at choosing projects.

If someone had told me age 14 to start making serious decisions about my career, I'd have laughed!

We know lots of progress is being made, but the industry must do more to help disabled people work both in front of and behind the camera.

I didn't come out and roll from job to job - my first year was really tough. I had to work as a teaching assistant for an agency; I ran a pancake stall in Dulwich Market. I taught drama classes and ran my own workshops. I applied for every advert on Gumtree there possibly was.

Because I'm so busy and because I think of myself as a painter, I desperately guard the time that I have to paint. And sometimes I'm irresponsible to my career in order to paint. Because painting is obsessive. I forget to eat. I forget to sleep.
