People always like things that seem exotic.

Maybe the way we have learned to look has changed in the last 25 years, and the exotic is much more acceptable. There are many artists now, younger artists, who work out of the exotic.

If there is an exotic woman it's always a terrorist role.

I've always known that I'm very, very ordinary looking. But I'm not alien looking. I am an artist here to play characters.

I think people perceive me completely differently than how I perceive myself. I see myself as a sweet, cosy, motherly type. We all want people to be more glamorous and daring and adventurous than they actually are.

I was in school studying civil engineering. A guy approached me on the street and said that I had a interesting look-very exotic. He told me I should try to be in the industry.

I think that it's nice when someone can go and look more exotic and do the girl-next-door thing as well.

I like being unconventional.

It doesn't matter how adventurous you want to be, you've still got to contain your identity.

I think being the conventional beauty is limiting, so I'm glad I'm not that. If I looked different, I wouldn't have the great opportunities I've had.
