My Acting Wasn't The Best. But Damn,

I'd Always Thought I Was Pretty Healthy And I Always Thought I Had Worked Hard In The Gym And It Turns Out That What I Thought Was Hard, In Catwoman's World, Is Actually Light To Moderate.

Taking A Year Off And Going To School Was The Best Thing I Could Have Done After 'the Princess Diaries.' It Taught Me That I Don't Need Hollywood Or A Job To Make Me Happy.

When I Got My Start, I Kind Of Got My Big Break With The Princess Diaries And During The Press Rounds For That Everyone Asked Me: "did You Always Want To Be A Princess Growing Up?" And The Truth Was, No I Wanted To Be Catwoman. And I Think A Lot Of Women Feel That Way. And The Fact That I Am Actually Her Is Such A Dream Come True. It's Such A Pinch Me Moment. And The Fact That I Am Catwoman In Chris Nolan's Gotham To Christian Bale's Batman Is Unbelievably Cool.

If Young Kids Choose To Have Me As A Role Model...what I Put Out There Is That It's Not A Perfect Life And It's Okay To Make Mistakes.

What I've Observed And What I've Imagined - And Definitely What I'm Hoping - Happens As You Get Older Is That There's A Mellowing, An Acceptance That Comes With Time. I Guess That I'll Find Out.
