Prized possession: My English Staffordshire terrier, Sport.

Every New Year`s I resolve: To stop biting my fingernails. I now have 10 little stumps.

I`d give anything to meet: Ben Kingsley. I`d love to know what makes him tick.
The worst part of my job is: Auditioning. We rarely are allowed to read with other actors. At a most vulnerable moment, we usually have to read with a secretary, and we`re being judged. But it comes with the territory.
