Quotes from Sophia
In real life I'm energetic and hardworking, not a demure, corseted maiden. I've done a piece called Money Can Buy You Love for Channel 4's Dogma TV strand where I play the girlfriend of a rent boy living in a council flat in the East End. It was refreshing to do something contemporary - such a change from high-heeled shoes and a corset, I felt like I was acting in my pyjamas.
