I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all.

I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

I think I'm not always what I seem.

I didn't grow up in a home that glorified Hollywood. We didn't watch TV. We didn't have a lot of magazines around.

There's a massive part of me that can be bold and courageous...very strong and very assertive and independent, almost to a fault sometimes.

The way I've been able to embrace fame is by realizing that celebrity is just a means to send whatever message you want out into the world.

The people on my mum's side of the family are atheist intellectuals who are ueber-proper. My dad's side of the family are missionaries who are more comfortable sitting around in sweatpants than they are in a five-star restaurant. But those two influences converged in my life.
