I ended up doing amazing things with my life; I'm well-read, educated and sophisticated - and I'm not the stereotype everyone makes me out to be.

I've had ups and downs but always maintained I was a working actor, which is a beautiful thing.

The most interesting place I've gone on location was New Orleans

It could be fun to sing with Prince or Michael Jackson. Justin Timberlake has an amazing new sound now

I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.

Everyone thinks I'm some big drug addict and loser because of the parts I play - quite the opposite. I decided to be a winner.

I won't even take jobs where you get paid to sit with a group of friends and party. That's never been my vibe.
