For As Long As I Can Remember,

I Don't Shoot Anything. I Could Never Kill An Animal. My Dad Does All The Hunting, And He Eats Everything That He Kills.

Some Of My Best Friends In La Are Devoutly Religious People. I'm Completely Supportive And Interested In People Doing Their Own Thing. That's A Motto That I Try To Live By, And I Hope That's How Other People Treat Me. Live And Let Live.

I Am A Firm Believer That You Can Have The Body You Want, Only To The Extent That You're Willing To Work For It.

The Sad Thing About Our Society Is That Women Are Put In One Of Two Categories. You're Either In The Beautiful Category And You're Seen As Sexy And Beautiful, Or Some Version Of That, Or You're Put Into Another Category... The Latter Category Affords Women The Opportunity To Be Smart, Funny, Independent, Mean, Strong, Intelligent And Opinionated. We Take Them Seriously As Politicians, If They Fit Into That Latter Category. We Respect Their Opinions More And Give Them Higher Expectations. That Latter Category Is What Allows Female Actors To Be Characters.

By The Time I Was Seventeen, I Was On My Way To Hollywood And Didn't Look Back. My Family Is Supportive Now, But Like Any Adult Guardian Of A Seventeen-year-old Daughter, They Were Not Thrilled With My Plan To Run Off To The La To Make It As An Actress. Even A Somewhat Functioning Parent Would Think That Was A Bad, Bad Idea. Lucky For Me, I Didn't Listen To Them.
