I'm a fatalist. I believe things happen for a reason, that you attract people and situations that are meant to fulfil your path.

I go by intuition. Work-wise, that means asking myself if a role will push me outside my comfort zone, challenge me to learn something new.

I was a barefoot earth child for a couple of years.

I grew up around animals [seven horses, dogs and now a pet goldfish named Leila] and I'm rebelling against them not having a natural existence.

I like to keep mobile. It keeps my mind awake.

People instantly assume you can't have a platonic friendship with someone of the opposite sex. I think this may be specific to L.A.—or America.

I just said yes to opportunities that came my way.
