Actors who perhaps are super-confident and have absolute belief in themselves I always admire, because I can’t really be like that.

I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.
