I've always been a fan of the horror genre and working in horror films has allowed me to get my name and face out there worldwide.
Honestly, I feel much more comfortable on a stage or in front of a camera than I do in real life. I'm very shy and awkward in real life.
[on the most challenging thing about being an actress] Forcing yourself to go to really dark places in your mind. There are always dark corners in people's minds, where they hide away their painful memories and feelings and having to bring that out in front of a camera and crew is very difficult. It makes you extremely vulnerable.
