I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.

The biggest misconception is probably that I don't have my head in the right place.

I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did (during the Korean War), when she went and just set up a stage and did a concert for the troops all by herself. It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be.

To be able to have an effect on someone's life is extraordinary .

How can you not like Britney Spears?

There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.

I'm not skinny for the wrong reasons. It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.
