"Being an actress was kind of like when you’re a kid, and you want to run away and join the circus, it's something you really want to do, but then you grew up and got a proper job. It was a dream, but I didn’t think it would ever be reality, and yet here I am!"

Because when she was an unsure, a little bit all-over-the-place princess, I was still quite unsure as an actress.”
