I don't think I've ever played a 'hot chick' before. I always play the quirky friend or the really angry girl.

I grew up in such a macho family. I had a former Green Beret for a dad, a mom who's really rough-and-tumble, and three very macho brothers.

Gardening gloves are for sissies. I always have dirt under my nails.

When you're younger, it's hard because you're finding your identity, and then for 12 hours out of the day, you have to be a different person. So that's a tricky phase - as far as figuring who you are out and then figuring out the people that you're working with.
