I balance things better and don't kill myself so much, but conflict makes me a more interesting actress to watch. The places I go to pull emotions from, I think if you have a perfect, happy life, you just don't have those places. And I want those places. I'm proud of those places.

I don't get this whole super-skinny obsession. I really think women look more beautiful when they let their curves show.

I eat whatever I want, junk food included.

Acting probably saved my life. It gave me a home and a safe place to let out all of my emotions and have it be ok.

I love Vegas. It's like going to Disneyland.

If I deny myself something, I just get resentful, so what's the point?

My family didn't have any money growing up. I'm just a girl from the ghetto; from Indio, California.
