Unfortunately, I was branded as a glamour actress and was forced to do only glamour roles.

I learn the techniques and then take what I need. I have the Essie Davis technique of acting. I'm an instinctive actress.

There are some roles you just don't say 'no' to. Those compass points: you get them so rarely as an actress.

I didn't set out wanting to be an actress. That's not what I did. I didn't go to class striving to become an actress. I just basically - honestly, I didn't have anything else going.

If I hadn't been a model, I couldn't have become a movie actress.

On the sets, I am just an actress, and I am okay with whoever I am working with.

'Actor' and 'actress' don't have to be gendered or sexed.

I was always a singer and a dancer, and I always wanted to be an actress. For me, it's all just one thing.

My dream actress to work with would be Amy Adams.

My father, Ralph Fernandes, was a model before he became an interior designer. He was very supportive of my decision to become a model and then an actress.

I'm not an actress. I'm a writer.

The condition of being an actress can be unbearable.

The thing is, you choose to be an actress, but not to be a celebrity.

People think that I changed my name. I could've been an actress, a superhero, or a stripper.

When I came to America, I told my dad I wanted to be an actress.

Just as I was telling myself that I was a one-film actress, it all started to happen, both at home and in my career.

There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself.

I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.

I can't be an actress forever.

As an actress, I should be able to do all types of roles.
