My name is Elza Sometimes too sharp and bitchy — I speak directly and not always gently. At the same time, I like to tease: with clothes, with a look, with my mood. There’s a kind of game in it, though I don’t always do it on purpose. I often act strangely and unpredictably. I can suddenly change my mind, walk away, or do something that seems pointless to others. That’s just how my mind works.

I love animals. They matter more to me than most conversations. I care about stray cats and dogs — I try to help when I can. Around them, things get quieter inside. I studied vocals. I knit and draw — these are the things that help me pull myself together when everything gets too loud. On set I can be cold and distant. Or I can suddenly switch on and become someone completely different. My character isn’t easy, but it’s alive.
