Like having your own licence to print money.

You carry your country with you, it's part of your baggage.

I like having my own story remain my story.

Having inner beauty is something you develop on your own, and I like to think I have that.

In recent years the networks have poured money into reality shows and that's what younger viewers are used to. Dramas are more demanding and require more attention by the viewer, but the rewards are greater if you stick with them. It's important for the networks not to have a kneejerk reaction and to keep topping up people's ability to digest drama.

With a face like mine, I do better in print.
