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

There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.

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

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.

We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.

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.

I'm a more mature actress now.
