I had just laid down to go to sleep and got up to use the restroom and I thought it was just like a dispute or something.
We sometimes think that being a celebrity is the same as being a role model. But a role model is actually someone you can touch, talk to and dream with.
I don't have the self-confidence to walk around in a miniskirt and heels and a tube top. I'm still trying to learn to love and accept my body.
?Nobody goes to Hollywood with their boyfriend or girlfriend, like he's dead weight I can't have him in my life anymore? and I just think she was just really frustrated with how simple he was.
I think I had the most fun making a movie with 'Dedication,' just because you knew that it was a passion project for everyone involved. We had X amount of days to shoot New York in the cold. No trailers. Just sort of kind of doing it guerilla style in a way.
It all evolved from the fact that I'm totally the jeans and T-shirt girl. If I can get away with wearing jeans and a T-shirt somewhere, I'll do it,
I think it's the fun and the challenge as an actress to get a meaty part like this and sort of play against type. Sally is pretty far from who I am, so I definitely enjoyed it.
I think it's really interesting. It's really great to experience it. We learn about it in government class, but it's good to come here and learn it.
We live in a world where it's difficult to be a woman who is strong and confident, so I like to surround myself with friends that embody that same principle and idea.
My parents moved in with me, I'm very close with my family. But the time came when I actually had to kick my parents out because it's my house!
My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't, like, extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself, and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.
Jamie has her faith, and it's so special and so important and it plays such an important part in her life, but she's not preachy about it, ... She doesn't say to people, 'This is what I believe in, and if you don't believe in it, then you're wrong.'
If someone tied me down and made me answer the question, singer, actress, clothing designer, I most likely - it could change on any given day, but mostly likely I would lean towards singing. It's where I feel most like myself - on stage singing.
We are in a culture where it's so easy to just turn things off that you don't like. And I think that doesn't make you a well-rounded person or artist. You have to be able to take the good with the bad and have opinions on things!
