“I’ve also always loved to read books, I loved story-telling. I’ve always loved reading out loud in class, which sounds really silly, but I always had my hand up to read in English class from a book or whatever.

I was always dressing up my sister into some type of character. So, it was probably innately always a part of me to be an actress.”
