QUOTES:

I’m a big fan of David Attenborough, who I think is the most adventurous of the nature program presenters.

I don’t buy things now, I buy plane tickets. The only thing I want is to make enough money to be able to travel with my children.

My grandmother died in 1991 and I was born in ’86. We only met once, but I didn’t speak English and she didn’t speak Spanish – so we had a communication problem.

I have to go through auditions, and my surname has got me into rooms, but I’ll never know if it gets me any jobs. There’s a lot of sexism and objectification, and a lot of people put you down.

When people say ‘Charlie Chaplin’ I still think now of the guy in the moustache and bowler hat and funny walk – I don’t think of an old man who was my grandfather.
