I was always the weirdo at school. When I became a model [at 16], I didn't tell anybody. I was terrified that the kids would rip me to pieces.

One girl came up to me - I remember it so vividly - she said, You're not fit to model socks. It crushed me. But at the same time, it made me unbelievably determined to prove everybody wrong and prove to myself that I could live an incredible life.

I like feeling a bit of an outcast where I am. I've always been that way. Somehow, I fit in by not fitting in.

I really don't like conference calls to be honest. It's always something that bloody happens with a conference call - universally never works out.

At school I got harassed so badly for being too tall, too thin, too pale - too everything that has gotten me where I am now, which is quite ironic.

A movie's a movie - you know I'm a massive old film buff - but it's still something to me, music: I can still close my eyes like I was when I was a teenager, and it can still make me weep or make me angry or make me, even if it's bad music, crack up.
