When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.

People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.

I no longer think in terms of, Ooh, this is a great role and what is it going to do for - actually, I've never really thought about what something is going to do for my career.

I'm very sensitive in real life. I cannot not cry if someone around me is crying. I will start to cry if someone is crying, even if it's not appropriate. I have that thing in me, a weakness or sensitivity.

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

Any man that dates me, the thing they're gonna have to live up is my dad - he's a real hero.

I'm very much a hippie from Northern California.
