In my experience, undertaking the scenes with nudity was extremely liberating.

There is nothing to hide, everything is flesh and bone. Everything has beauty; it&#39;s up to us to see it.

The film has to be challenging and exciting. I don&#39;t like doing boring films. But, unfortunately, sometimes you choose films for the popularity or the money, to put it bluntly.

I honestly never think that I have ever &#39;arrived&#39;. It&#39;s all a process to me. Today I am lucky enough to be getting a lot of work that I&#39;m passionate about, but one can never know what the future has in store.

A producer tried to use his power against me. I just took off my jewellery and said &#39;Bye bye&#39;. He then sued me but nothing happened.
