Thanks for rushing back for our cover shoot! How was Cannes Film Festival?
Thank you, I’m so excited to be here. [Cannes Film Festival] was a super fun experience — it was one of the greatest opportunities in my life. Growing up in the industry, this is one of the pinnacles in one’s career, so this means a lot to me. Every time I go overseas or attend something like this, I feel obligated to represent my country. As I was dressed in looks by local designers the entire week, everyone was like “Wow, you look so nice!” and I was like “Yeah, this is a local designer from Malaysia.” I felt very proud to be there.
You're an actress, model, host, producer and dancer. Is there anything you can't do?
A lot, actually. Have you seen me cook? I'm not very good at it [laughs]. There are plenty of things that I cannot do. I wouldn't say I'm so remarkable, it's just that I started in the industry very young, and I've been training and practising for entertainment my whole life. So, I can do a lot of entertainment-related things - this is my entire life's work, if I can't do that, what can I do?
What are the ups and downs of growing up in the spotlight?
It's important for me to constantly remember that I'm very fortunate. There have been so many points in my life where I feel like maybe I've taken the industry or some of the opportunities that I have for granted because I thought that it is tough sometimes when your life is exposed to everybody. It's also hard when you feel like there's a lot of pressure, whether it is from your surroundings or it is something inside you in response to your surroundings.
