I never consciously set out to be an actor. I just kind of did whatever acting I could do.

I remember vividly one distinct memory of arriving in Hong Kong and being the only blonde haired girl in this sea of international students, and thinking, 'Oh, my God. There's no hiding here.'

I really like being thrown into the works. Many actors, I have found, have this as a common trait. We had to, as children, adapt to various situations with either a military family or things like that.

In a photo shoot, you have to be very comfortable in your own skin. It's all about confidence-boosting and putting on armor.
