One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.

I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.

I think, generally, most people can't maintain anything that's particularly strict for very long. I watch people trying and failing to do that a lot.

Maybe I'm misjudging people, but I feel like a lot of people still have an image of me in a bonnet at nine years old.

I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.

Acting is pretending to be someone else.

I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.
