If you watch a film from beginning to end, with no women in it, it's really difficult.

Even if you're unhappy, just pretend that you're happy. Eventually, your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that, I used to think, 'I'm being fake,' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable.

When I was young I was soft spoken and a little bit timid and passive. My dream then was to be a ballerina or a figure skater - something very delicate.

I cried myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because men leered and disrespected me.

I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.

I always wear something slightly masculine.

I was a good student, I was good at soccer, I was vice president of the student council, I was a pretty girl.
