'It was all a magical fantasy world,! that kin! d of journey I've always loved that you can get from a good book,' she said.

'I realized the decisions I was making were going to affect my whole life,' she said. 'I was conscious it could all disappear.'
But after gaining celebrity from her performances in the ABC TV movie The Audrey Hepburn story and the movie adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, Rossum admitted that she made a series of bad ! professio! nal - and personal - choices.
'I talked myself into projects and relationships that weren't always right for me,' she stated.
