I Love Stories About People That, Whatever

I Went To An All-girls School For Part Of High School, And The Idea Of Boys Was Amazing To Me, Like, All I Ever Wanted To Do Was Kiss Boys And Be Around Boys.

I Like To Do Different Things And, As My Actrees Career Evolves, I Will Choose Roles To Do Things That I Haven't Done Before. There Are A Lot Of Different Sides Of Me, And I'm In A Unique Position Now, For The First Time In My Career, To Decide What Direction I Want To Go In.

I Was In Manhattan During 9/11, And That Was Really The Only Thing That I Related To As Far As A Disaster On A Grand Scale. It Was Really Interesting To See On That Day And In The Weeks Afterwards How People Came Together, And What People Were Able To Do For Each Other, And What I Found Myself Feeling And Thinking And Doing For The People Around Me, Whether It Was Strangers On The Street Or My Own Family. It Was Really An Experience That You Can't Fake.

Now I Don't Want To Take Roles Just For Money. It's Like Trying On The Right Dress. When You Go Shopping For A Dress, You Can Try To Make Something Work 'cause You Can't Find The Right One, But You Always Have That Memory Of The Time You Put On The Perfect Dress And You Were Like, "oh, My God, I Love Myself In This Dress! I'm Excited To Go Out And Have People See Me In This!" That's The Way That I'm Looking At The Roles That I Want To Do. I'm Not Looking For Anything Specific, Except For Something That Has Heart, And That I Will Enjoy Doing That Feeds My Soul.

I Think My Parents Saw That Acting Ultimately Made Me Happy, Even Though It Was A Rough Ride For A Little Bit. There Wasn't A Ton Of Pushback About It.
