The letters from jail are always disconcerting.

I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.

My mom is like this hard-core, liberal feminist. She's a professor in Boston, and she's been teaching women's studies for 30 years and international politics.

For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys' clothes, played tag football.

In my first movie, That Night, with Juliette Lewis, I had a scene with two other girls where we applied a cream to our chests to make our breasts grow. I was 10.

The letters from jail are always disconcerting.

My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.
