I made a conscious decision when I was about 17 years old to strive towards mediocrity. I completely abandoned the idea of grandeur and importance, and I wanted to be mediocre.

People initially think I'm a snob because I'm intensely private.

I love getting older! I really believe that a woman doesn't reach her peak until her 40s.

I think doing a female Elf in the Woodland realm was a bit safer, because we haven't met one of those yet.

I just like short hair on women, I think it's cool. And I have wanted to cut my hair for very many years, but being on contract with a television show for six years prevents you from doing that, and then being on contract with a cosmetic endorsement campaign prevents you from doing that again. So for eight years, I've had to have long, flowing locks. And I was just so sick and tired of long, flowing locks, so I chopped them.

I'm very sensitive. Emotionally, I bruise very easily. I'm a Leo, and this is very characteristic of our sign.

I definitely come down on the spiritual side. I think very few things in life happen by chance.
