She told Entertainment Weekly: "I wanted to be an actress since I was two years old. It's always been my dream and ambition. This is the kind of moment you dream about.
"Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I could have this incredible honour and recognition. It's just so exciting."
'An incredible gift'
