I like to have nice conversations with a man that teach me something, make me mad, make me curious. Then I find him attractive.

I'm attracted to intelligence and creativity and passion - and not necessarily the romantic kind. I want to learn from someone who is greedy for information and light and laughter and the whole world. Someone who celebrates their days and finds inspiration in what other people accomplish.

I still feel like Ive crashed the party.

I'm taking time to figure out where I want to go and what I want to do next. In this line of work, you become so defined by your job.

I've never been the sort of person who takes things for granted, and I'm not an acquisitions girl. So I didn't feel entitled to a car when I was 16. Of course, I was bummed I didn't get one, because I was an American Texas teenager! But I understood it. I've never gotten my self-esteem from having the newest, most spectacular thing.

Goodness in other people and what they contribute inspire me. I love it when someone is gifted and shares it in some way so that it has a trickle-down effect.

Being horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money.
