But Grace is such a relatable character she is a girl who doesn’t really fit in at high school, she can’t wait to get out of high school and see the world and make a better life for herself - I feel that a lot of people can relate to that.

- You have touched on my next question really the film has a great cast Katie Cassidy, Leighton Meester and Andi McDowell so how did find working alongside all of those?

It was so good for me because I am not as experienced as all of them so it was really great to be on a set with professionals that were amazing, sweet and humble.

- You mentioned that you want to appeal to your fans with the work that you do but how keen are you to move away from that and take on more challenging and dramatic roles?

I think it’s all about baby steps and I am not thinking too much in that direction at the moment - I just want to do things that are different and work my way to that point.

- Your music and TV is going very well but much will movie roles be something that you focus on now?

Eventually that’s all I am going to be focusing on because that is the direction that I really want to be in for a long time. Eventually my whole focus will shift to that.

- How does movie work compare to TV? How much will movie role be something that you will focus on?

Being on a show for four and a half years it’s all you’ve know and it’s your life, you just want to go and do different things.

The biggest thing that appeals to me about movies is because you are not playing the same character and you get to chance it up.

- Finally what's next for you - there are some Sex and the City prequel rumours are there any truth to those?

No, there’s no truth in that. But I will be going on tour this summer across the U.S., which I am very excited about, and hopefully I will be doing another movie in the fall.
