It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.

I actually grew up thinking that sex was absolutely terrifying and that it would kill you.

A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier.

I sacrificed six years in L.A. I did my job out here. I made contacts and did the work I had to do.

I have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I've got all kinds.

I don't want to become a brand and I certainly don't want to have a persona.

The risk for me has to do with the nudity aspects. I'm an American actress in mainstream movies, and I would like to always be able to do them. For some reason, nudity is perceived differently here than it is elsewhere, and I didn't want to lose any American audience that I was building.
