I feel that in order to truly be an actor, you have to differentiate yourself and your roles, and you have to constantly challenge yourself. I'm not interested in just doing glitzy movie after glitzy movie and being on the cover of Us Weekly every day.

Yes, romance has found it's way into my heart in the past

The way to my heart is by being truthful and spontaneous.

The core for everything is to be grateful. It's literally as simple as that... I've always known that I'm lucky to be an actress, and I'm lucky to be a working actress. I'm lucky to have garnered attention for certain roles, and I'm grateful for it.

The sexy moments for me, I wasn't thinking of them as sexy. I was thinking of them as more specific to my character. So it was necessary for my character's development in the movie, so that's how I played it.

I was always wanting to learn and be one of those actresses who can actually hold a conversation as opposed to standing there looking pretty.

When you grow up on film, people sometimes have difficulties accepting the fact that you are growing up. They always imagine you younger.
