I am a contradiction myself. I'm always looking for something that scares me because when I'm not scared, I'm not stimulated.

I am especially fascinated with mermaids, and they are always coming out in pirate stories.

I am part of this generation with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Peter Pan.' I think we all grew up in this culture of pirates.

I always love to push myself, because I am not so self-confident.

I am always stimulated by people. Almost never by ideas.

To be a veiled Muslim woman on screen is a very scary minefield for me.
