“I grew up in a working-class area, and I stood out - for my voice, my appearance, I did dance and things like that. But I always had faith in my charm.”

“Buying my pain aux raisins and someone wanting a selfie was so confusing.”

“The strangest place I have been recognised is a urinal. I was like: 'Why are you talking to me now?' That is the weirdest thing, but the most uncomfortable is when you are on the street and someone just grabs you.”

“My appearance qualifies me for historic characterizations, going back to the year one.”

“Articles always end up being about my appearance. I had a conversation with Jude Law: he told me people's obsession with looks goes away after a while.”

“I'm a bookworm. I know with my physical appearance that I don't look like the typical reader. I'm in Barnes & Noble all the time, and you can look at people that look like they are supposed to be in there. I am in there, pants sagging, hat backwards.”
