Young women from a very young age are taught that life will be easier if you can just turn on the charming smile and say very little and be complacent and docile and sweet.

I am just like any other girl, a sucker for romance.

I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.

One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night, and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film.

It's rare to have even half-meaningful conversations in the film industry.

When I run on the beach, it's always in slow motion. That's just how I roll.

Like most girls, I constantly have to watch my weight, because if I didn't my curves would get ahead of me.
