I loved 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' It was such a big part of my childhood.

I don't know if you're ever prepared for public scrutiny. I don't know if you can even mentally prepare yourself for it. But it is part of the job. It's maybe not the most pleasant part but I get to experience so many other things that I shouldn't be able to experience. So, that's the trade-off.

I'm a passionate individual, and sometimes when I have strong feelings about a subject, I feel the need to express myself.

I would really love to go on an archaeological dig.

If you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model.

I'm the biggest nerd - I love comic books and stuff like that! I don't have any friends who are actresses. I only had one girlfriend when I was growing up. Most of my friends were boys. I was such a tomboy. I enjoyed doing guy things.

To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women.
