Books are a really fun way to get yourself in a certain mindset or mood as an actress. Also, the way people tell a story is so revealing and I think it's important as an actress to see all the different ways people can unravel a story, and introduce the characters and the way people speak.

I love dressing up. It's the best part of being a girl, I think.

I dress for myself because when I feel good, it doesn't matter what other people say. I think it's all about confidence and the way you carry yourself that draws people to you.

Sometimes when I'm going to sleep, I think, 'Oh God, my future husband is out there somewhere and I might know him, or I might not, and I wonder what he's doing and I wonder if he knows me.' I just always think that's so fascinating, that even when you were two years old, your future husband was out there somewhere.

I think if you keep an open mind and actively look, you find these really great roles that you might have otherwise never even known were out there.

I've realized that you become a bully if you are just watching someone get bullied and you don't say anything. Speak up!

Being in the business and growing up in L.A., I think I turned out pretty OK.
