Honestly, as an actor, all I need to know, the way I kind of look at a scene, is like a puzzle. There are certain puzzle pieces that are bigger than others, and all I need to know is if this is going to fit here to make this part of the puzzle work.

I was captain of the volleyball team and the basketball team, and I ran track.

I'm a girl in boy's clothing. I like to get a little rough. I prefer mud to makeup. That's me in a nutshell.

I like a man who can come out and say he's nervous on the first date. I think that would be really cute.

I'm not one to be messed with. I can be bad when it needs to happen.

I'm a wife and a mother. I don't want to be immature; I have to be ready at all times.

So my views on equality are pretty obvious. I mean I did play a highly complex lesbian techno DJ on TV, but I know it's not always easy to come out and tell the world where you stand.
