We live in a thinly veiled misogynistic society.

I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.

We all have insecurities, and the thing that makes them crippling is that we all have the ability to blow them up into such huge issues in our minds, that we might as well have a facial deformity. It keeps us from really going out there and living our lives, and forgetting about hating yourself and just experiencing the world around you.

If I hadn't gone into acting, I would have been one of those weird runaways on Hollywood Boulevard. No, it'd be uglier. I'd probably be dead.

Our society doesn't want to help girls like that [in Black Snake Moan]. They just want to use them.

It's fun to be sarcastic, but now I'm able to express myself in a way that's much more sincere.

I tend to fight for something that I believe in.
