I know there's Brooklyn and all the boroughs, but Manhattan specifically is so condensed that the energy is very vibrant. Everywhere you look there is something happening.

I know I often get a job because of how I look. I hope that I keep the job because of how I act.

Brooklyn's good. Brooklyn's funky. Brooklyn's happening.

I find sharing intimate details with people that you don't know an interesting concept. I like to keep some things to myself.

I've got two brothers and two sisters, so there's five of us and we're all very close, which is cool.

In Britain, you do your job. When you do an American TV show, there is a sense of being one with the crew, and there is a leadership element, which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain, you just do it, leave and say, 'Thanks.'
