Create your world around your work. Create your work around your life. Let other people help you shape it.

I teach a lot - I teach at the UCLA and USC graduate film programs - and a lot of those projects are my students' projects that I act in or I do a cameo.

If I'm working on a film, I'll do sit-ups for before I shoot. Like, 100 in the morning or something.

I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.

He was so. So dirty, and just moving in front of me, and cute. I was in love with him, especially because he was talking to me.

There's a large chunk of me in all the parts. As an actor, I got involved largely because I want to let things out. The best acting is that that is most real and the only way to do that, is to genuinely feel it.
