Alexandra Roach

My ambition is to become one of those actresses that is like a chameleon that you don't recognize.

I can't wait until I'm able to afford really posh bags.

Actresses are mental on the whole. But I think I'm pretty normal.

I love all reality TV - Strictly, 'The X Factor.' I really don't see why people are so snobby about it.

I love vintage, but it's so expensive now.

I love leaving the house in a new outfit; I don't feel the pressure at all.

That's where my passion was ignited, on the set of 'Pobol Y Cwm.' I loved it and I've had such a passion for TV and films. I can't do anything else.

I had to live and breathe Margaret Thatcher for a few months. I totally engulfed myself in her life. I read her autobiography and a biography, 'The Grocer's Daughter.'

Be positive and laugh at everything.

I went to stage school with a neighbor to build confidence because I was quite shy.

Transformations don't scare me: it thrills me to become the polar opposite.
