I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.

Just because you grow up in the public eye doesn't mean that you're immune to the same sort of issues and feelings that any other woman would go through.

But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.

My advice is to make acting your second career choice

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have

We hung out a lot together. We went and saw films together. It was really actually quite easy. I think we were all very subconsciously connected in knowing that we needed to make it important, and therefore it just became important and it worked. Everybody had a lot of respect for each other. I think respect is the most important thing you can have.

When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, "I get rejected for a living." And that's true.
