Samantha Barks

I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.

I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.

I can't comprehend that I'm in the film of 'Les Miserables.' It's one of those dreams I thought would be unattainable for someone like me, who came from nowhere.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren't random.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
