Right now one in three teenagers meets the medical criteria for addiction, which is scary. I'm so driven because when I walked into rehab, I was like, "Am I still drunk? Did the guys give me the wrong address? Am I at a summer camp?" And it kills them. Deaths attributed to drugs and alcohol have overtaken all other emergency-room deaths.

To actually be allowed to be beautiful is a total first for me.

I think that there are many different ways of getting and staying sober. Like religion, I just don't think that one way is the only way.

Onstage, I was never the ingenue.

And to be different is great. You don't want to be the same.

I was a full foot taller than any child my age.

I've always just gone with the best role, and I don't care if it's in theater, film or television.
