People are incapable of stereotyping you you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype

I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane

People in my inner circle of loved ones - we're tight and I've never misjudged someone as far as I know I can feel someone's intentions, I know their intentions before they probably are honest enough with themselves to know it, so that's my strength.

It's the scariest thing in the world, going to acting class, because first of all, there's a lot of pressure. I just go back to being that fourth grader who couldn't, like, sit still in her seat.

That's the beauty of being an actress, is that you hopefully get to have different roles and really stretch yourself. This is really what I've been working for a while. I've been in the business for a minute, and it's an opportunity like this that I've been really working towards.

I don't usually lose my temper, but if I get angry, it's true - I'm scary.

The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want to get into that.

[Affordable prices] are important to me. My mother lets me know [if something is too expensive]. With a few dresses, she's, like, That's too much. But Mom, it's $59.99. It's too much. And then I go back and we talk about price points. My family keeps my grounded.

Well I'm a 5 year old at heart I still think that there is a monster under my bed - and I'm not joking. It's pathetic, it's really not cute.

I keep my backstory pretty private and personal.

Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.

It's tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I do not even know I'm reaping them. It's a more overall kinda thing.

I don't come from a wealthy or privileged background, and growing up I was always looking for the best quality at a price I could afford. My love of vintage is rooted in that. Drugstores were the mecca for the latest makeup trends and products.

I wish writing was a talent that I had. I've tried. Unfortunately, I'm just not talented in the writing department. But, if I was, I would just write complicated roles for women because there's a lack of them.

I have a cosmetics line in Walgreens. It's exclusively at Walgreens. It's called Circa and it's basically prestige cosmetics that are at drug-store prices.
