About stardom (2011): "Sometimes I think I am the worst person to be in the position I'm in. I'm shy, I'm sensitive and I'm self-critical. It's a terrible combination. But those qualities also make me want to be better."

    DAMN GOODNESS you just shocked me! Thursday is 11th November, not 9th November! I just thought I booked everything wrong…

    Sheila, thanks, I’ve changed it now. That was directly from their press release.

    That's a pretty big prize they are offering there. However I wonder if this is another UK exclusive reward(since it's a UK website and a trip to the UK premiere), though it doesn't say anything like that.
