I like having black hair. When I was really young, I wanted to be Asian - Asian hair is beautiful. I also wanted to look like the girl in George Michael's 'Father Figure' video.

I've always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.

I'm not someone who needs to bat and bat to be in form.

I'm home a lot. Because I live in Ireland, we can live under the celebrity radar. I might go missing for a whole year.

Anything that’s too safe is not action.
