BK: What are some previous projects you’ve been involved with?
Alice: It all started with a print ad for Maxim contact lenses. Then I started to get TV commercials and I was the field host for Sister Day. There are also some singing gigs every now and then. Right now I’m a VJ at Bang Channel and I’m currently in the TV series Chocolate 5 Ruedoo. As for movies, I’ll be appearing in Lood See Lood (out in 2011) and before that I was in Puan Mai Gao (2009).

BK: How did you get into movies?
Alice: A senior at my faculty invited me to the casting because he knew that I could speak Chinese and they were looking for someone who could for the part. I get to star alongside the band August.

BK: Did you always want to be an actress?
Alice: Actually when I was young I just knew that I wanted to be in the entertainment industry whether it was front and center or behind the scenes. I felt happy to be around music and didn’t specifically wanted to be an actress or anything. I wanted to work with music and wouldn’t have minded being a DJ or a VJ.

BK: How did you first get into the business?
Alice: There was this S Club Talented Boys and Girls 2008 contest run by Siam Center and Siam Discovery. It was when I first came back from the States, all my friends were studying and my term at Chula hadn’t started yet. I didn’t like having a lot of free time so I thought I’d try this out as there were all these workshops you could join. It wasn’t really a competition and there were so many workshops that you didn’t have to pay for, like VJ, MC, makeup, scuba-diving and martial arts. I got the Popular Vote and then work just started coming in after that. I thought I’d just do it for kicks.

BK: What are your future plans?
Alice: I’ll just keep doing this if the work’s still coming in so I can have more experiences. I’d like to do a musical; it’s one thing I haven’t done. But eventually it will come to a point where I’ll continue my studies, maybe get a doctorate degree. I think it would be pretty cool to be Doctor Alice.

BK: What do you have to say to women your age who want to be in show biz?
Alice: The reason I’m at this point is because I’ve been given opportunities by others. They see that there is something in me that can be refined and that I work hard. Be yourself and try to pull out the best you have to offer, whether in working or studying to show that you would be pleasant to work with and not cause problems for others.
