Karla Crome

I find it difficult to be comfortable with anything for the same reasons that anyone gets nervous about something - because they want it to be good and they don't want to let anyone down.

I am a notorious and constant worrier. I'm worried if I'm not worried.

The power I would like is to be able to turn off negative emotions and bad moods with the flick of a switch.

I love crime series.

I love the fantasy genre, I'd love to be a member of the X-Men.

I never had the guts to go to Calais. I didn't see for myself the conditions people were living in, or hear their stories firsthand. That doesn't sit well with my conscience.

I don't know a lot about my Jamaican heritage, so I relish any opportunity to learn about Caribbean culture.

You need to be able to maintain a healthy voice and fit body to be able to give performances in a big theatre night after night.

I don't want to sound like a broken record but I do tire of the reality TV thing.

One of the joys about my job is that I've been able to constantly move and keep changing. The whole point of being an actor is you change your exterior everytime you do a new job and that's what keeps it exciting.

Writing 'If Chloe Can' has taken me on an amazing journey: from launching the event at Downing Street, to a performance to 1,000 inner-city school girls at a West End theatre, then to an audience of hundreds more at the Royal Society of Chemistry.
