I would love to see women be able to be powerful, complex, smart, opinionated and taken seriously, even if they are beautiful. Even more, I would love to see women held to different standards, other than the superficial ones that we're held to.

I don't want to be labeled as one thing or another. In the past I've had successful relationships with men, and now I'm in this successful relationship with a woman. When it comes to love I am totally open. And I don't want to be put into a category, as in "I'm this" or "I'm that."

It's my job in Hollywood to find roles where I get to be a character not a bathing suit.

Some of my best friends in LA are devoutly religious people. I'm completely supportive and interested in people doing their own thing. That's a motto that I try to live by, and I hope that's how other people treat me. Live and let live.

Trying to film a movie on a diet is hard enough, I can't imagine how it would be on drugs.

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

I am a rebel, and I relate to the rebel spirit in Chenault [from the Rhum Dairy].
