I understand men much better than most women I know.

I've always been like that. I was a tomboy when I was a kid, so I was always playing baseball and basketball and football and stuff as a kid with the boys.

I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that

I think my uncle was probably the biggest influence in my life. We grew up in the same house, and he was just a really great, hard-working, honest, ethical person.

I've always thought of myself as a businesswoman. I have the creative side, but I also have this business sense.

I love cold, rainy weather.

I'm a firm believer in doing things that scare you.
