I grew up watching 'Grease,' and 'Grease 2.' I fantasized about walking through school halls and busting out in a song. At that time, I was too much of a chicken to do so. I'd love the challenge now.

I was a really picky eater as a child. Because I was obsessed by Popeye, my mum and aunts would put my food in a can to represent spinach and we'd hum the Popeye tune and then I'd happily eat it.

When I was a kid, I loved Popeye, but the old ones, the real old ones.

My dad says that when I was two or three I used to go out dressed as a different character every day. I remember thinking it was perfectly normal to wear different coloured shoes and carry a pink umbrella. But now I've got a goddaughter of that age; I realise it's not normal at all.

I used to dream of being normal. For me, if Kirk Douglas walked into the house, that was normal.

I walk like a duck: very straight up and down. Or like a penguin. It's a dead giveaway that I'm a dancer.

I used to go to the supermarket dressed as Peter Pan when I was about five years old.

Me, I'm good at nothing but walking on the set with a pretty dress.

It was very weird because for a long time no one really recognised me from my films, but 'The Hobbit' has totally changed that, and I've had some really special moments, especially with youngsters.
