I was an accidental model. One day I was asked to me a model by a neighbor who was short on models. Then I got into TV.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started to model because I thought I could use it as an excuse to others, like, 'Yeah, I'm tall because I'm a model.'
When I was young, I used to tell my mum that she had to get me on the TV, but then modelling just sort of happened.
I never really wanted to be a model. But when the opportunity came, I grabbed it.
There were a few models who used to stay close to my building. I used to admire them and tell my friends that I did. Those models told me get into modeling.
In the beginning, I didn't know if I was still a model, if I was an actress. I knew I wanted to be an actress, but it was so difficult to be believed.
People call me a 'model-actress,' when I just never started with that... it's not my story.
I'm no model lady. A model's just an imitation of the real thing.
I did model for a little while part-time, but I wasn't a bloody model, and I am definitely not that horrible thing 'model-turned-actress.'
When I fell into modeling, because I wanted to work in fashion. I wanted to do styling or make-up. I ended getting picked up to be a model instead during my work experience.
I always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted to model.
