I didn't find it that hard to channel the animalistic side of 'The Woman', I studied animals like apes and wolves, and researched how to throw off my feminine ways and just went out into the woods for a few days to learn how my body would feel if I had to do what she had to do.

After graduating from University, I began directing in theatre too, and I've been directing, writing and acting ever since, which has allowed me to continue this traveler lifestyle.

I was spotted in Glasgow and asked to enter a competition to find the Highland Spring Face of 1995 by the Storm agency. I won the Edinburgh heat, then I won the title in London and moved there aged 16.

If you met me in London, you might be appalled at how English I sounded.

And oddly, when I was a kid I used to look at junkyards and I wanted to have one of my own.

I definitely have no stability in my world; I feel the need to be up and merry all the time.

I was acting before I was modelling, when I was very young, doing the Edinburgh Festival and that sort of stuff.

I've been inspired for a long time by Nicole Holofcener. I admire her greatly as an auteur, examining the human condition in a funny, growing, spirited, honestly dark and human way.

I completely love directing.

And being an actor already means that working with cast as a director, I have a clear understanding of their position and that collaboration is great and useful.

As far as Lauryn Canny's performance as 'Darlin', it was just so incredibly nuanced and raw and and she's such a hypnotizing person to watch on screen.

I now don't mind if people know about my modelling because I don't feel like it really matters. I feel like I have proved myself as an actress, to some degree.

I'm from Scotland, one of four daughters, and we grew up moving every few years between Scotland, Portugal, Colombia and Scotland again.

I've been working for a while with a Scottish suicide prevention charity called The Joshua Nolan Foundation that brings the conversation about mental health into schools and provides free counseling for those who need it.

I felt that 'The Woman' was a feminist movie at heart.

Pollyanna McIntosh

I think 'ex-model,' especially in the UK, smacks of being shallow and stupid and having no soul.
