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

I remember hitting Sarah Michelle Gellar with a right hook during my first week on the job. It was awful. They usually pair actors with stunt doubles to avoid things like that.

Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education.

The letters from jail are always disconcerting.

I literally remember when I made my audition tape for 'Buffy'. I went to the Arsenal Mall. I got my outfit at Contempo Casuals in the Arsenal Mall and put some safety pins in my jeans. I remember telling whoever the clerk was that I was making a tape for 'Buffy', and they were so excited.

Growing up I was as big a tomboy as you can get.

I don't care who you are, everyone has been through it - that feeling where you'd like to be someone else.
