I don't know what it is about me, but I don't think of myself as sexy; I never have.

But, as an actress, you don't want to run into these scenes, willy-nilly. The couple that I did do were important for the character and essential to the plot, to show what was actually going on between each character. It is great to be able to have that, and to be able to say certain things and have certain passions.

I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.

When you're acting, you're escaping and hiding behind something. It's cliched to say, but there's a safety there.

If you steal other people's characters, it doesn't work with the context of the scripts and what is written, so I wanted to make her my own. I was petrified, in the beginning, because it's such an iconic character, especially being a young lady myself.

I'm not a flying fan. I can't bear it.

I am my own worst enemy. My friends and family will say, Youve got everything going for you right now, and I say, Oh yes, but! Which is not a good way to be.
