“When I was a child I was dyslexic, and I couldn't read and write. I was also a bit of a dreamer.”

“I’ve learnt that no matter how you live, there will be some people who will not like you.”

“I wanted to be a nurse, but I was very naughty. I was a bit of a rebel. So I ended up being an actress.”

“My memory is photographic; I can remember anything I've seen.”

“Dyslexia is not a disease, it's a condition.”

“The wonderful thing about being an actor is that you can get a second chance.”

“I think the thing about acting is it's like a muscle. You have to keep working it.”
