A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy. I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role. That's what I do; I become things. Use your imagination.

Because I take very seriously the idea that I can make an impact in the world, I hold back my voice so I can make more of an impact when I do use it. A cause like One Billion Rising is something I want to scream about, and I want you to take that scream seriously because I don't fall out of nightclubs. I don't have photographers capture me spending untold amounts on a handbag.

If young kids choose to have me as a role model...what I put out there is that it's not a perfect life and it's okay to make mistakes.

I think the only thing in life that you really have to worry about is how you treat other people. If you mess up and treat someone else badly, you apologize, and you don't apologize for anything else. Be yourself and go for it.

Oftentimes, what you wind up learning is very different than what you expect.

I think nudity is related to everything.

There's something wildy decadent about the young-star lifestyle, and I just don't really see the point. I got my partying out of my system in college.
