I didn't figure out the makeup or cute hair or clothes until oh, maybe my junior year of high school.

Almost every Marine I've met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.

The best part? Probably being able to portray such a respectable, ethical, intelligent, strong woman. That's still pretty rare in our business, unfortunately.

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

People are always surprised that I have a funny side because I'm usually so intense, strong and dramatic. But, I'd love to do something really, really silly and funny.

Producing is very much like running a business, where you find the project, you find the different people involved, you put the elements together, and you make sure they all work together well.

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