My parents divorced when I was born, and my mother is a political science professor, like a feminist Mormon, which is sort of an oxymoron.

My mother would take groups of students to different countries and always brought us along, so by the time I was 10, I had been to Russia, China, Nicaragua and several other countries.

I remember hitting Sarah Michelle Gellar with a right hook during my first week on the job. It was awful. They usually pair actors with stunt doubles to avoid things like that.

Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?

There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.

Sometimes it feels like you're losing, but even when you're losing, you're getting something.

I don't let guys do hickeys. That's like a dog marking his territory or something.

When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age.

It's still a pretty sexist world out there and someone's got to stand up and say something.

Rhymes with push-koo; I always say it sounds like a breakfast cereal.

My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.

Just when you think you know.....you don't know.

Unfortunately when I'm on my death bed I believe I'll be like most people and still looking for Jesus. And yes I've checked my sock drawer.

If you don't know how to make fire you can ask someone or stay in the cold

I've never sat there and plotted out how I was going to become successful or famous.

I started acting in second grade - my first role was in the Thanksgiving play. I was the Indian chasing the turkey. All the other mom's encouraged my mom to get me into acting after that.

Stylists aren't for me. I tried to use one when I first started working in the US, but I didn't click with anyone.

Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time.

The great thing about novels is that you can be as unshy as you want to be. I'm very polite in person. I don't want to talk about startling or upsetting things with people.

Faith, I have been a truant in the law And never yet could frame my will to it, And therefore frame the law unto my will.
