I'm self-confident and not afraid to speak my mind.

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

It's easy to play a bad girl: You just do everything you've been told not to do, and you don't have to deal with the consequences, because it's only acting.

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

I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.

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.

I don't let guys do hickeys. That's like a dog marking his territory or something.
