What do you enjoy most about acting?
The reaction from the fans. Before I take on a
role, I have to make sure that the character is
relatable. If a character I’ve portrayed has en-
tertained someone, or I’ve managed to bring
them on a journey, then I’ve done my job as
an actress. I love being able to tell a story, no
matter how complicated it may seem.
