It's so hard to fight against someone who is stuck in what they believe whether you agree with it or not.

I'm a tomboy at the end of the day, so anything that causes me to have to run around, fight people, roll in the dirt, hop a fence - I'm all for it. So I really would love to do an action film.

I just love drama. I love the idea of exploring relationships, whatever they may be. That's fun for me.

I have visions and ideas about different things. Other actors just inspire you, so writing is something I would love to do more of. I would really be interested in doing something in that vein, writing something for myself or someone else and directing for sure.

I like what looks good on me and, as a result, I don't find myself drawn to one specific designer all the time.

After high school, I had $2,000 saved, and I packed everything I could into my '95 Nissan Sentra with no air-conditioning, and I drove out to L.A.

God has always been the head of my life, even before I knew it.

We left Germany when I was 11.

Know your history. It can teach you who you are, where you have come from, and how to be a better person as a result.

Climbing trees is still one of my favorite things to do. A tree and a good book and I'm happy.

Not long ago someone said I should shorten it to just Emma. But I really, really love my name. From as far as I can remember, my parents have taught me to be really proud of my name.
