I think sadly in any industry and in any work related environments females always strive to achieve a certain amount of perfection whether they be skinny or pretty. It's constant in our society.

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

I started teaching myself, taking a breath or a moment that's not overreacting or having an explosion. It made me such a better person. Let alone a better mother, but also just a better human.

My goal in life is to enjoy what I do, and never to look back and say I wish I would have done that.

I love swimming, tennis, and I am taking up golf. I am not serious about it, I just go to the range and practice. Other than that, I enjoy going to the movies and hanging out with my friends.

I think that there are a lot of reasons to be insecure as an actress... But I don’t really have a perception issue. I’ve been pretty good about being who I am in the public’s eye.

You always want to challenge yourself and work with people you respect. You can't always go by genres, but it's always fun to challenge yourself.
