I'm not a woman whose self-worth comes from her dress size.

I'm empathetic to a fault. I really do - embarrassingly enough - tear up when someone squishes a bug in front of me.

If you're in high school, just know there is a big world out there and you can be anyone you want to be.

There has to be this balance of reality for a woman. I don't want to play women who just serve a purpose for the script.

Life isn't a fairy tale, and happy endings are few and far between

I can fill my cup up with real human interactions that allow me to be an actor. If I had no basis for relationships, as Kristen Bell, the human, I couldn't be an actress.

Everybody just wants to be loved, and nobody feels loved enough in high school.
