I always want to wear clothes that my children will one day look back on and say, 'Oh, you looked amazing - why didn't you keep that?' Not, 'Oh my God - I can't believe you wore that.'
I have a big family and no one ever treated me like a child. They always treated me like an adult, like an equal.
I never really thought about acting as a child. It wasn't like, "This is the career that I want to pursue." So when I first started acting, I was more concerned with just being on a set and all of the woes of that, and I didn't really know it or understand it as a craft yet.
People want things with meaning. I know that because I want that.
People think I'm goofy. I don't have that Angelina Jolie air to me. I wish that I did, and that's an insecurity of mine.
On average, I order about three meals for myself in one sitting.
Often you see people on the red carpet with tight up-dos, but that makes me feel stiff.
Ngila Dixon is such an incredible costume designer. She's such a cool, stylish woman. She has such an understanding of character.
My mom taught me this really great beauty tip. She used to put oil or mayonnaise on the bottom half of her hair before she would shower.
My mom and dad always taught acting, so instead of getting me babysitters, they would just bring me to class.
My hair is a safety net for me, so I love to have it down and full and relaxed.
My family is probably too involved in my life because they are my best friends, but I love that.
It's definitely attractive when a man can dress well.
It is hard that people don't just let you do your job for them and entertain, and then carry on your own life.
