There's a side of my personality that goes completely against the educated & serious woman. The side who wants to be a pin-up girl in garages all across America!

Once you've found something you know how to do, it makes you feel you don't have to be intimidated by someone.

The name game is frustrating. Agents will say, They love you, but they're going to offer it to Julia Roberts first.

I had a Christian upbringing - it was all about sin and guilt. I was very happy just kissing people. I was like the make-out queen - not even second base.

When I was 5, my mother threw a party, and a friend and I wrote and performed a play called The Dutch Doll.

I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.

There are all kinds of other things I could do, things I would probably like, but only acting would give me emotional fulfillment.
