I had always wanted to be an actress. I went to summer theater camp from kindergarten on up until high school, and always had the leads in all the plays - even though they were at the YMCA - but it was something I always wanted to do.

I would love to do a sweeping romantic period drama, like Jane Eyre. That would be my dream. It's always been my dream, as far as acting.

Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.

I permed my hair 12 years ago, because I always wanted a perm, but my mother would never let me have one! I got a lot of stick, but I didn't care - I loved the curls. The growing out was the difficult part!

I always feel I could be like Toni Collette, going between big studio things and indie films. That would be feasible.

Actors rarely stay in touch with directors after they've filmed together. We go back to real life.

I've been an outsider all my life - I don't care.
