I am constantly struggling to show people that there is more to me than,my appearance. You do have to try and overcome those hurdles. Female,actresses need to be given the chance to be more than how they look.

I don’t want to be labeled as one thing or another. In the past I’ve had successful relationships with men, and now I’m in this successful relationship with a woman. When it comes to love I am totally open. I don’t want to be put into a category, as in ‘I’m this’ or ‘I’m that.

Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.

I can sit in front of the TV and watch an old romantic film and be transfixed. .
