Spanish term or phrase: Gana en las distancias cortas

Buenos días,

Necesitaría ayuda para traducir esta expresión de español a inglés. Se trata de una entrevista a alguien famosa y explica que la cantante, a pesar de su fama de inaccesible, se muestra abierta y simpática:

"Llevaba un look impecable, como siempre, y aunnque parece una persona orgullosa, consiguió que me relajara en la entrevista con su personalidad cercana. Realmente gana en las distancias cortas."

Muchas gracias por adelantado.
