I use mainly products by Dermalogica. They have specialized formulas to target specific skin needs, which I like. It works well for my sensitive skin.
If you can do something great in 60 seconds, you can do anything, really.
I guess the one thing that people don’t know about me is, I had my belly button pierced but not anymore.
A lot of period pieces we see are adaptations of novels – we always know the story.
When I’m filming, I live out of a suitcase, so everything is thrown everywhere. In real life, I’m a bit tidier.
My skin doesn’t look as good when I’m not eating enough fruits and vegetables, so I try to eat plenty.
The condition of my skin changes often, depending on the season or if I’m traveling a lot.
The fragrance that suits me best is Romance by Ralph Lauren. It seems to blend into my chemistry, so it is nice and subtle. I don’t like to be doused in scent. This one is feminine, fresh and a bit musky.
I’m happy with the way I look, but I’m not Hollywood beautiful.
I grew up on a farm – it was a lovely life; we’d make tree houses all day – and my parents worked from home.
I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I’m not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones.
People recognise me when I’m holiday on the beach.
As I get older, my skin shows more of how I am feeling, like a mirror. If I am stressed, or not getting enough sleep, I see it in my face right away.
Fashion does seem to have a 20s comeback every few seasons, and I completely see why. Its a very feminine look: the fabrics and the shapes are very pretty and distinctive.
I always play girls who are quite traumatised, or a plain girl, but I’m happy with that.
I like ‘X Factor’ as much as the next person, but I do get overwhelmed with the amount of reality TV. It’s such cheap programming and such a load of rubbish, most of it.
As an actor, or as a person, I like to do things that are challenging.
I have to admit, I go through phases of being good and bad. When I’m being good, I go to the gym three to four times a week. I do much better in a class with other people. I like aerobics and circuit training.
My mum said she remembers me asking her if she’d take me to ballet lessons when I was about two and a half. She said I could barely speak, and yet was asking for ballet lessons.
I was neurotic and weird from an early age.
