I think it's ridiculous that you need to look a certain way to be conventionally pretty.

I prefer to be hated than be false and fool people.

Both my parents work in film. They're crew. I love movies, and I just wanted to be involved. I got really lucky. I auditioned for a while and then started making films.

Adoption was something that was always under my skin, that I knew would be a part of my life, and, when I decided to start filing, it was very clear. It was like I knew that this was exactly what it needed to be. So then you go through the process, and it's tough. It's not the easiest process - and then again, I've never liked things too easy in life. But it emotionally knocks you out.

I am thrilled. I love movies. I don't have those nagging, regretful feelings about either of them, it is a miracle.

I'm also human so I have days when I look in the mirror and go, "All right . . . Things are definitely changing." I can see that.

I went to do Eclipse right after The Runaways, and I think the director of that movie might have said to another cast member that he had to beat the Joan Jett out of me.
