Just because I don't do bad things doesn't mean I don't have bad thoughts.

When I was in elementary school, I used to write letters to myself. I'd write letters and go 'Dear Kristen-at-16-years-old, happy birthday. I hope you're doing something.'

I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, I wanted to be a marine biologist, an actress, a writer, an environmentalist, an activist.

I started doing martial arts when I was a kid. I don't often get that kind of role, although I get to do it periodically, which is a lot of fun for me.

I think the education I've had as an actor I would never have had at university.

When you have worked this hard to get this far, don't let up because you finally got here. Finish with your heart and fulfill this moment the way you have dreamt of it for so long.

I love physical movement. Dance was my favorite thing, and I was a gymnast. I find that expression through movement is easier, in some ways, than expression through words.
