Usually when I ask people to reach into my velvety pouch it means something different.

When you're a kid, you don't want to be teased.

As part of my job, I got malaria really badly and was put in intensive care, and I had a hallucination because they give you this cocktail of drugs to fix you so you don't die, and I had this hallucination that I was at the Oscars and I won and I was a really good actress, and it was so real that when I came out of the hospital, I started saying to people I'm going to become an actress.

A League of Their Own' had some special meaning for me, I guess - it's about women joining together and being empowered, but also about sisters sticking together even when there's drama and struggles. I'm really close to my two sisters and my brother, so I liked that about it.

I do acting for the awards... and cash money.

At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.

Because of my filming commitments in America, you have to sign contracts where you can't change your physical appearance.
