[2] (2015) and "Her first major role [...] may propel her into the spotlight, but her work off-screen deserves just as much attention.

When I got asked to do this art show, I couldn’t possibly think of anything else. I got drawn to ideas of sexuality and religion. I read pieces of writing about virgins and what that meant before Christianity." [ditto]
