As a woman who works in a male-dominated business - Hollywood, definitely, being one of them - I instinctually knew what that is like. You have to be strong and take care of yourself.

When you're in a romantic relationship, of course, there is a lot more compromise and you have to be a lot more unselfish.

It's great to know you've earned your place and to know that you are right for the role because my biggest fear is being offered something and showing up on set and doing one day and everyone going, "Oh geez, oh no, this isn't, she isn't.." and feeling that way myself.

I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.

In human years I am 29. In actress years I'm the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That's how it works here in Hollyweird.

I think there was no other profession for me. I was either going into an insane asylum or to be an actor.

In a thousand years, archeologists will dig up tanning beds and think we fried people as punishment.
