Detroit, the heart of the country... I grew up on 10 Mile, 2 miles better than 8 Mile.

I find it almost comforting to count calories, because it makes me conscious of what I'm eating. But on Super Bowl Sunday, I thought, 'Surrender to it. It's nacho time.' Then I ate nothing but Doritos all day.

I think that American audiences are more used to following one character.

I've got a lot of nervous energy and I trip a lot. I don't have a good equilibrium. In the places where the physical comedy was necessary, it came very naturally and it was fun.

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

I don't think that I'm modest by any means, but I'm also not an exhibitionist.

There are so few strong roles for women, especially young women. And Veronica is very serious but also very likable. She's a lone wolf, and it appeals to people that she isn't rich and doesn't have a lot of friends. No posse. She's just like you, like most of us.
