I went through this rebel period where I didn't want to dress up.

I know lots of people who eat raw, vegetarian, or vegan. I'm not into any of those things. I believe in eating enough so your body will actually run.

My grandmother was a flight attendant; my mother had a pilot's license, and my grandfather was a pilot. That's how my grandmother and grandfather met.

I've found that a lot of my male friends have great style and great appreciation for designers.

I have so many pairs of riding pants that are from the store at the stables in Burbank where you can go ride your horse at. I don't ride a horse, but I do wear the pants! I love them!

For the first six years of my career, I was relegated to those girl-next-door, sweet, cheerleader kind of roles, and it was really frustrating for me because you don't have to do much acting.

I don't want to shut the door and only be thought of as the dark girl.

There's no one who has more authority over my life than me. And I can learn things myself and how to communicate to other people and how to apply with the rules of life.

There's a lot in Scientology that develops confidence because there is peace, I think, that I've gotten just to know that what I do know, I do know.

I can change my mind and can learn other things. And anything I don't know, I'm capable of learning if I so desire or if it's necessary.

I tend to be a fan of darker shows and love 'The Americans,' 'Ray Donovan,' 'True Detective,' 'House of Cards' and 'Peaky Blinders.'

Jason Katims is fantastic.

Working with a kid is just so interesting to see.

I was going to school with a girl who was an actor. And I was, like, 'No, I want to be an actor.'

I told my parents I wanted an agent, and they decided to let me have a go at it. Then I started working right away. I was 12.

After 'Traffic,' I was a total homebody. I was still a kid.

It was when I met everybody on 'The Perfect Score' that, like, nightclubs became a thing.

The SAT is not particularly relevant to my life.

Making a movie is a little bit like high school. Because everybody lives together, and you see each other every day, and word travels fast around there.

I cheated once on a spelling test. I didn't know how to spell period. I leaned over the desk and looked at someone else's paper. I was probably ten or something like that.

I want to do a love story. I really want to do a love story.

I wrote and recorded a song that I highly doubt I will release. The lyrics are somewhat risque. I may have to create an alter ego, and she can be the 'singer.'

Erinn Hayes is hysterical in person, and I love that.

Number one, as an audience member, I tend to like violent movies and TV shows because it's not real.

Work hard; be ethical.

Sometimes, I get so annoyed when other people brag. And sometimes, I know that I'm better than that or I've got something better in the works; I don't say anything. I just say, 'Really? That's great.'

There are times when I think, 'I'm going to get this part. I know I am. I'm going to get this.' And then I don't, and I'm wondering, 'What happened? I went back five times!'

My first thing was a McDonald's commercial.

I'll continue doing good projects.

I know I am eventually going to want to write or produce.

If I can't find anything good, I am just going to have to get my butt in gear and start learning how to do everything.

I didn't plan on going to college, at least not a full-time schedule. I still have that plan. I may take some individual classes at some point as an indulgence.

Those auditions - you sit down, and literally the whole time you're there, they scrutinize you, and you know that. But you can't take it personally.

I love to dance and sing.

I want to do an action movie where they say, 'Go the gym and get ripped like Linda Hamilton.'

Growing up, I was a bit of a tomboy; feminine things took a while to find their place in my world. But diamonds made me understand the magic and beauty of jewelry.

I think part of the beauty of our relationship with jewelry is that it can change and evolve as we do ourselves.

I look like a sweet, corn-fed kid. My roles are my rebellion.

Love scenes feel very mechanical. But our whole job is to make it look real.

I don't have a 'Life's short, play hard' type of philosophy. That's about fear. I tend to think that life is very long - but you should still play hard.

I'm close with my whole family, but it requires email and texting because they don't all live nearby!

If being a skateboarder were a personality type and not actually an athletic activity, then I'd say I'm a skateboarder. But I don't ride one. I'm a bicycle person.

I'm an NPR and KCRW person.

I had a big 'New York Times' crossword puzzle phase.

I love the idea of my daughter looking back at her childhood and growing up with a dog.

It's funny to say its fun to explore someone's really rough time, but it is. It's exciting.

'Confirmation' is the movie I'm super proud to be a part of.

There are photos of me with my Pony trucker hat, sideways. Truly, awesomely, horrible.

It's great to have financial support. But having someone's emotional support is something that I wish I had more of growing up.

I'm a showman. I believe that you're a character every time you put on clothes.
