In an interview, she said, “I was very grown-up at 14 years old. I was like, “Of course, I’m gonna move out of my parents’ house and go make a living itself, I’m already 14, I’m so old.” Working as a model also came naturally to her. “It was very easy for me because I could go there and could be very objective. It was very simple, it was a character I was playing.”
