I came to America when I was seven and a half in 91. I think the first full length book in English that I read was Return to Oz when I was nine years old.

I have an older brother who is 21 and attends UC Berkley.

I grew up in the Ukraine 'til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.

I think that certain things are funny and certain things are okay to make fun of - including myself.

When it comes to picking parts, I do make an effort to choose parts that I want to do, and not necessarily parts someone else wants me to do, or parts that someone else is going to respond to.

For me, my lack of patience in real life - I have always had very little patience. It's been very much my downfall in life. But having a child puts it in perspective. Very quickly you're like, "Oh, I need to learn what patience is."

I don't think it's true that blondes have more fun... Trust me, it is not true!
