Being An Actress Doesn't Make You Popular

I Was A Very Extrovert Kid. It Felt Normal To Me To Act. I Always Went To Regular Schools. I've Never Been Catty Or A Prima Donna, So I Never Had Problems. I Always Had My Seat At The Cafeteria When I Came Back From Acting.

If I'd Trusted Myself And Listened To Myself All The Times That I Ignored Myself, I Would Have Been Fine. But Everyone Has To Learn Their Lesson, And Now I've Got It.

The Performances That I Love Are Ones Like Gena Rowlands In 'a Woman Under The Influence,' Where Women Are Allowed To Be Messy And Imperfect. It's That Kind Of Woman That Has Always Inspired Me To Seek Roles That Are A Little Out Of The Box. I Just Haven't Always Had The Opportunity To Do Them.

Why Would I Cry Over A Boy? I Would Never Waste My Tears On A Boy. Why Waste Your Tears On Someone Who Makes You Cry?

I Started When I Was Three Years Old, Doing Commercials And Modeling In New York, I Liked It So Much That I Kept Doing It.
