I wish I was a bit shorter, as I think shorter people have better walks. Freddie Fox, the actor, is shorter than me and has an amazing gait; and Tom Cruise has a brilliant run. I'm just gangly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Funnily enough, I never thought of myself as being short. Being an actor has made me much more conscious of it than I would have been otherwise.
I'm not freakishly short. I had, on my show, used shortness as a joke subject; it didn't really bother me.
The faster you go, the shorter you are.
As a kid, I was so short, it was tough for me to keep up with the taller guys. I always had quick feet, but I just didn't have any power, really, as a kid.
People always think I'm taller than I am - not just because of the shoes I wear but because of the way I dress. It's all relatively streamlined.
I have not met a man as tall as me who is as quick as me, ever.
I used to write on my resume that I was shorter than I was because I thought it would inhibit my roles, and as soon as I embraced that I am a tall female, I started getting really fantastic roles and really didn't even worry about wearing heels.
Being short works for me.
In modeling, my height was a big challenge to overcome, because I was pretty much the shortest girl on the runway whenever I was doing the catwalk. The clothes didn't fit and the shoes didn't fit. It was an issue, but luckily, it didn't prevent me from working.
I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter. I tried to make up for being short by affecting a strut, by adopting the voice of a much bigger man, by spending more money than I made, by tipping double or triple at bars and restaurants, by dating tall, beautiful women.
