What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything.

'That's What She Said' is not Hollywood's standard picture of women: preternaturally gorgeous wedding obsessed boy crazy fashion focused sexed up 'girl' women. These are real women comically portrayed who are trying to wrestle with the very expectations of womanhood that Hollywood movies set up.

I'm just really thankful to have the chance to portray a character you don't see every day.

'Swan Lake' is the most difficult thing to portray for a female ballet dancer it really requires such specific qualities of articulation agility strength and the arm work is something that takes a lot of training.

Growing up sports was my outlet my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but through sports something I was good at I was able to make friends.

I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them otherwise I wouldn't do them. And I don't want to screw them by not portraying them honestly.

A lot of the time the way it's portrayed is that I only see women in a sexual way. But I grew up with just my mum and sister so I respect women a lot.

I just hate one-dimensional portrayals of religion it's too cheap and easy to do and ignores the nuances that go into having a belief system.

The World Cup tournament overall and naturally the new stadiums at its heart are the ideal platform to portray Germany as a positive and exceptional location and above all of course as a highly capable economic location.

I think people in Botswana are pleased that my books paint a positive picture of their lives and portray the country as being very special. They've made a great success of their country and the people are fed up with the constant reporting of only the problems and poverty of the continent. They welcome something which puts the positive side.
