I just fell into modeling.

The dream was to be a prima ballerina.

My job as an actress was to be a good scene partner to Martin Wallstrom, who plays Tyrell Wellick.

I am very liberal and fairly exhibitionistic. I don't really have a problem with nudity or anything like that.

With modelling, if you want to be good at it, you try to tell a story in a photo and give a person a sense of feeling.

My first paid acting gig in the States was playing a lizard-transforming, shape-shifting witch in 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters', I believe.

Joanna is a strong female character, and I love playing her. But one of the things about her is that she always says exactly what she's thinking.

When I got the script for 'Mr. Robot,' I was auditioning for a bunch of stuff. I had an audition going for a movie at the time that I wanted to do.

I always wanted to be an actor, and then modelling came first. But I don't want to diminish the fact that I always wanted, and had the passion, to be an actor.

I think the cinematography in 'Mr. Robot' is some of the best I've ever seen, honestly. Not even as being part of the show but as somebody who enjoys cinema and movies in film and TV.

A lot of the composing posture you see in Joanna I actually took from Lauren Bacall from 'To Have or Have Not.' I absolutely adored that movie as a kid, and I just remembered this woman who was so statuesque, and I was like, 'I want to do that.'

I grew up with a father who taught me chess at the age of 6 or 7. He'd always beat me. Of course. I was a kid of 6 or 7. After he won, he'd look at me and say, 'It's good to be king.' And then he'd say, 'But you know what's even better? To rule the world.'
