I am a light person. I think of myself with a shield, a protective shield around me. And I think of bad things bouncing off it. Boom, boom, boom, ba-boom, ba- boom!
It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts.
My mum was never strict. I was allowed to go out to clubs underage, watch TV, listen to whatever music I wanted to, and that made me not rebel. I have never touched a drug in my life.
I'm quite loud. When I was in film and TV, people were always saying, 'Oh Kelly, make it smaller, make it smaller.'
I've never said I'm perfect, and I've never said I'm a skinny girl.
Sometimes, if I see a picture and I can make it a bit better, then I will, like everyone else does. I've been Photoshopped in every picture since I started modelling.
I'd definitely have a dog over a child.
I'm really good at growing roses.
I eat everything. I love it! I couldn't deny myself food. What a waste of a life.
I love my family, but I don't think they think about my career a lot or nuffin.
I was always performing as a child, and then I was determined to act and sing and dance, so I travelled for miles every day to go from home in Kent into London.
My most annoying habit is laughing all the time. I can't stop giggling. I do it because I'm nervous.
I do Google myself. Not that often, though, and the stories are always rubbish.
I think I'm quite good at being sexy in a unthreatening way.
I don't think I'm misunderstood, but there is definitely a certain side of me that the press focuses on - my body, my hair, or who I'm dating - which has never really served me as an actor. It's served me in the commercial world, making money as a model, but the media perception has really hindered my acting career.
There's always going to be someone who doesn't like you, but what can they do?
I'm always professional and turn up on time and do my job.
I love flying around the world doing what I do - that keeps me so busy.
The thing is I really struggle with commitments, so committing myself to six months to a year in a soap opera... I don't think it would suit my lifestyle. A few days working on a project is enough for me, and then I get bored and am ready to move on and do something else.
It's good to mix high street and designer and vintage. I'm a big fan of vintage stuff.
