My father fell really chronically ill when I was 13 and that's when I phoned up an agent and started to act.
I just went and got an agent because I thought I can create my own world - you can't right your own life, but you can escape to a world where you can have control.
I also get fed up with the fact that casting agents and directors have this impression of me as being frail and petite. I find it very patronizing. I'm quite beefy and strong. I was a gymnast in school and I have lots of muscles.
