I should probably never describe myself as adorable.

Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.

I don't really get recognized.

I find that the best way into things is to open my heart up to it and allow it to be as truthful and honest as I can be, and I can make it. It's hard to do that; it's hard to open yourself up to something.

I tried surfing once in Brazil, but I'm kind of clumsy.

I love that you work out relationships with people as you're filming just to get something real to play on screen.

It's the writers' job to make it positive. It's my job to make it real.
