I never thought I would end up being an actress. I thought I really was going to do serious stuff like law or politics.

When I was younger I did karate and martial arts, and I think it's really cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities.

I really like writing from real-life experiences. Audiences seem to prefer the stuff I couldn't have made up.

I'd love to do a court-room drama. I loved 'Ally McBeal.' That was one of the main reasons I went to law school.

I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.

I don’t really care what I look like that much, and I think women out there should just be happy with the way they look. They shouldn’t really try to conform to any kind of stereotype. Just be happy and hopefully healthy.

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.
