I like to paint, I'm absolutely no good at it, but I'm so comfortable with that because it's good for me to have something to fail at.

To steal a term from one of my Twitter followers, 'Deathlok' is the 'anti-villain.' He's on the side of the bad guys, but he obviously doesn't want to be there.

I really love fan art, which I get sent a lot of. I really, really get a lot of. I get a kick out of it.

I went right to the 'Guide to the Marvel Universe,' which has every Marvel character from A-Z, and fortunately, I had every issue. I found 'Deathlok,' read about him there.

When my mother did fittings for her clients, I was hiding, looking at these beautiful ladies try on these fantastic clothes. I was dreaming as a small child to try these clothes on myself.

There was a time when my mum would sew costumes for the dance studio so we could keep doing our classes because we couldn't afford them.
