It's not easy, but I'm really enjoying what I am doing. One day I am in Chennai, the other in Mumbai, then in Coimbatore. But I love my job, and I am really passionate about my work.
We can stop the cycle of animal homelessness and save lives by opening our hearts and homes to a loving cat or dog from an animal shelter instead of buying animals from breeders or pet shops.
I have become like a rhinoceros - thick-skinned - all the gossip about my numerous affairs does not bother me anymore.
Like most girls, I suffered from pimples, too. I tried dozens of treatments but was never satisfied with any.
The hardest thing for me was leaving my friends and family behind.
I've got Indian looks, but there is nothing in my background.
I won Miss Teen World, and then a movie rep saw me on the pageant website and thought that I had the perfect image for the role in 'Madrasapattinam.'
The negativity will always be there. I think that's for any actress or actor. But I think you've got to take it with a pinch of salt.
Every time someone buys a cat or a dog from a breeder or a pet shop, a cat on the streets or in an animal shelter loses his or her chance at finding a good home.
I am a Christian, and since the age of five I have been singing... chanting hymns containing the word 'Hosanna.'
My Hindi is OK. I think I am better with Tamil. I remember the Tamil words.
I actually didn't find too many differences between B-town and the south. The difference lies in the temperature. I was shooting when it was 45 degrees Celsius in Chennai; Mumbai is cooler.
I started with Tamil film, then Hindi. Now, I am also doing a Telugu film. The journey has been wonderful so far.
I love art and finding different bits and bobs for the apartment; so, I'm adding all my personal touches to the house.
I love horse-riding - I have three back home in the U.K.
I'd be getting texts from my mates saying they'd just got into a club in Liverpool with a fake ID, and what was I doing? I'd have just finished a 20-hour day and be sitting in a hotel room, starving.
I would say Nawaz is my lucky charm.
I can't believe all this is happening to me, but I am definitely here to stay. And I am happy to be in Indian cinema.
As an actor, I know it is my job to shape myself for a role - any role.
I love being in Mumbai and want to continue being here.
