I've learned that I've got to keep level-headed.

I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.

I'd love to be a 'Bond' girl.

You can have a great time on a film and the chemistry can seem great but then you look at the finished film and it just doesn't quite gel, something doesn't quite work.

Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.
