My father always said, 'You can do anything a man can do.' 
My pseudonym is 'George R. R. Martin.' That guy's just an actor. 
I was really, really lucky because I have always worked. It hasn't always been consistent, but I have always worked. 
I am still a person with a sense of superficiality that I'm trying to challenge.

I trained in combat, sword fighting, horse riding ... It's empowering knowing that I can a break man's nose with my elbow. 
I was a semi-professional gymnast as a child. I did rhythmic gymnastics, but I sustained an injury and strained all the muscles in my spine. 
I think everyone loves a slash of red lipstick. 
I quite like looking mucky; it's quite nice not having to care about how you look.
