I Never Regret Anything. Because Every Little

I Don't Mind A Little Sturm Und Drang. When I Was Doing 'riding In Cars With Boys,' I Wouldn't Smile At Anybody, Because My Character, Bev, Was Angry At The World. I'm The Opposite. Inside My Head I'd Be Like, God, I'll Explain To You At The End Of Shooting That I'm Not This Person.

I Guess I Do Have A Childlike Sense Of Fun, And Although I Still Have My Dark Days, I'm Generally An Optimistic Person. The Way Things Have Gone In My Life, Sure, I Could Have Been A Bitter Person. But I Just Find Bitter People Really Un-fun, You Know? And Who Wants To Be That Person?

I'm Not Insecure. I've Been Through Way Too Much F**king Sh*t To Be Insecure. I've Got Huge Balls. But I've Been Humbled. That Makes You Grateful For Every Day You Have.

I Still, At Hotel Rooms, I Do This One Sort Of Not-so-cool Thing: Continually Shoving My Room Service Tray In Front Of Someone Else's Door. Because I Don't Want The Remnants. I Don't Want To Be Caught, Like, Being Like The Pig That I Was At Two In The Morning.

There's A Big World Out There. Bigger Than Prom, Bigger Than High School, And It Won't Matter If You Were The Prom Queen Or The Quarterback Of The Football Team Or The Biggest Nerd. Find Out Who You Are And Try Not To Be Afraid Of It.
