I don't want to be typecast as a heroine doing just glamorous roles.
To me, looking glamorous on screen has never been about skin show.
I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.
It is great to be cast in a positive character.
Now I know that however big a film, you have every right over how you want to be seen on screen.
There is a fine line between being glamorous and vulgar. I am open to glam roles as long as they don't look vulgar on screen.
I have always stuck to my on-screen image and I have no complaints as I have got some meaty roles coming my way.
As a younger actor, my motivation may have been 'Do you want that job or don't you?' Now it's 'Do you want to look like crap on film?'
You know I hate watching myself on TV, I know a lot of actors say that, but it's true for me.
You won't ever see me being totally sexy on 'Rookie Blue.' It's not right for the character, anyway.
I don't want to do any more movies where I look at it and go, 'Oh, God, gross.'
When you see me on TV, that's about as close to my real personality as you can get.
I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.
Any actor or actress that tells you that they don't watch their stuff is lying.
