I wrapped 'Buffy' and I always felt on 'Buffy' that they wanted to keep me younger for a specific reason. It seemed like I was getting younger every year that I was on the show. I think there was a reference to me being 15, then 14.
I just met Ron Howard. I was such a dork.
When you grow up on film, people sometimes have difficulties accepting the fact that you are growing up. They always imagine you younger.
The food was interesting. My background is Russian, so cheese and potatoes are my love. There was plenty of that. And fried cheese! It is really, really, really good. And really, really, really bad for you. It's like an artery on a plate
I am young. I better show off what I have now.
I plays Joe's best friend. I am the only one he has ever been able to trust in his life, so I help him understand what happened to him when he was younger.
I've always felt that kids are really smart.
Keep your private life private. Be open to suggestions from different people. And just be nice. I have heard stories about people who are just plain rude to the press or fans.
I feel that in order to truly be an actor, you have to differentiate yourself and your roles.
I will not be doing any FHM or crazy Maxim magazines. I will leave that to the other actresses in Hollywood who want to shed their clothes because they think that's beneficial to them. I would much rather chose a creative way - like in a movie.
Most people say they talk to me and I sound older.
I have never understood that. I come from a place where the press makes or breaks an actor and it is more of a teamwork relationship.
I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for "Six Feet Under", last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day.
I chose to wait to get my drivers license. Since I was working and I didn't have time, I got it like a week before my 18th birthday.
