I am so glad that I get to maintain a relatively down-to-earth lifestyle.

If I were to live in Africa, serving the poor, the number-one thing I'd miss wouldn't be running water or electricity - it would be style... being able to get dressed up and feel beautiful.

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.

When I got the job on 'Lost,' I was a broke university student living in the crappiest part of town, with a duct-taped back window on a broken-down car. I existed on peanut butter and tea.

I have two roommates, so it's a challenge to keep the house the way I like.

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.

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