In general, the auditions I go up for are very sparse, I guess because of my ethnicity. And the characters are very similar: shy, innocent and naive the connotations that come from the way that I look.

I love theatre. It's far more satisfying than film. Sometimes there's a collective sigh from the audience, or it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop. I couldn't believe how easy acting was when there's an audience after a few previews I almost couldn't do it without one.

I am very indecisive. I'm always afraid of making the wrong decision.

I like Joaquin Phoenix. He's an amazing actor and he's so buff.

I thought acting was all about natural instinct but I've realised, through working with so many talented actors on 'Wild Swans' and 'Run,' that I can see the training. That's why I am back at drama school.
