All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way.

I took "Forever" [by Judy Blume] to the bathroom to read [when I was eight] and then I heard my mom coming so I stuck it under the toilet and went running out. And I went back later to check for it. And it was gone.

sometimes I was so bored that I started arguments just to experience the rush of almost losing him.

Confidence lets you pull anything off, even Tevas with socks.

But I am a girl with a keen interest in having it all, and what follows are hopeful dispatches from the frontlines of that struggle.

I'm not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax.

It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. For a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that I was writing.
