If You Want To Do Something, You

My Very Best Friend Died In A Car Accident When I Was 16 Years Old. That Was The Hardest Blow Emotionally That I Have Ever Had To Endure. Suddenly, You Realize Tomorrow Might Not Come. Now I Live By The Motto, 'today Is What I Have.'

I Was Interested In [hunter S. Thompson Novels]. The Rebel In Me Fell In Love With It, And The Artist In Me Was Confused By It, And Interested And Turned On. Ever Since, His Work Has Meant Different Things To Me, At Different Times, And I Still Get New Meaning Out Of It And Appreciate It, In A Different Way. His Work Is Very Visceral, And You Can Take From It What You Want, In Various Moments Of Your Life.

I Think I've Always Had A Certain Amount Of Skepticism Of This Whole 'shut Up And Smile' Theory. I Haven't Ever Swallowed That Pill So Easily, Although I Tried.

I Have Been In My Fair Share Of Both Onscreen And Off Screen Fights.

It's My Job In Hollywood To Find Roles Where I Get To Be A Character Not A Bathing Suit.
