On her own style:
"What’s important to me is always expressing yourself honestly. So when it comes to fashion, I think the less seriously you take it, or the less you think about it, the more unique your look is. A lot of people ask me how I describe my style and I never know how to answer that because fashion to me is simply a daily dose of expression. I’m inspired by my moods. I think thingstend to be more interesting when you’re not over-thinking them or trying to look one way or another."

On whose style she's coveting for S/S12:
"No two people are alike so trying to mimic somebody else’s style never seems right to me. I’m sad to say that I don’t follow catwalk trends. I’m not as in-the-know as I’d like to consider myself. I’m totally out of tune but I feel more comfortable there. The less I know about what’s going on, the more I feel I can do my own thing."

On her styles icons:
"I’d have to say Anna Karenina, Patti Smith and Audrey Hepburn. Each of those women had such a unique way of expressing themselves in their own time."

On how she got into acting:
"I started professional acting only a few years ago. I did it as a kid than I started teaching theatrical courses in a local community centre for under-privileged kids. I don’t think I fell in love with performance and acting until I saw it from an audience perspective. Those kids really came into themselves."
