I sort of ended up in Los Angeles by accident. And it was sort of terrible to be jostled into this position of a fame-hungry starlet. Which is so honestly not me! In fact, I could use a bit more of that because I am such a hermit! So I allowed myself to get really bothered.

I think that's why I gravitated toward slightly broader... ummm, more conceptual kinds of movies, Underworld and Van Helsing. That was as much as I could actually give. But you're actually more of an animated figure. It does go against the grain, as an actor.

Boyfriends? In my life I have had three. Three. Only a handful of people have seen into the Pharaoh's tomb.

People still say to me, 'What was it like being in such a huge flop?' The amount of hatred and vitriol was surprising.
