I didn't want to get married - I thought it was like a cult! It seemed so conservative and unnatural.

Animals are being exploited in such an unbelievable way; it's not acceptable.

I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don't want to cause that pain to any other person or creature. But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order to make money or to feel better about ourselves, such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves, I'm going to use this animal. I'm going to say it doesn't have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these cruel things. And that just isn't fair.

My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.

I'm reachable for people, I'm not out of their league. I'm just a normal girl.

What I learned from doing The Graduate was it doesnt matter what the medium is... as long as the material is inspiring and the characters are well written.

I don't want to be known as the Aerosmith chick, but it's fun to put on the boots and makeup and act like a tough girl.
