I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse.

I've got a lot of stairs in my house! I'm on the sixth floor. I should be fit and have a really nice ass, but I don't.

I thrive on constant stimulation artistically, whether it's listening to music, seeing art, or whatever. I try to inspire myself because the urban world and politics are quite draining.

I have to have the director be my guide - I have to have that relationship with the director or else I go bonkers.
