The school was very supportive. The only class that I had to attend every day was biology when we were doing dissections. I would take an 8 a.m. bio class, dissect my animal, and then run to work.
I think that you have to restrain yourself from googling your name and have other hobbies and desires and wants. You do a million things. You go to school, you write, you read, you blog.
My parents' biggest thing was that they just wanted me to graduate high school and go to college. They couldn't fathom me acting for the rest of my life.
It is difficult because the school I go to, my friends do not attend.
I went to college because I felt like I was supposed to. I graduated from public high school and I did all the things that I was supposed to do.
What's funny about my group of friends is that none of us ever went to the same school. None of us lived in the same part of town.
I grew up incredibly poor and went to school and had a very average upbringing.
I had a normal upbringing and went to public school. If I ever, even for a second, started getting a big head, I was brought back to reality pretty quickly. I was working full time and still had to fight for a cell phone.
I wanted to quit the industry when I was eighteen and finish '70s', finish my contract on the show and go to college because I was pretty convinced that after '70s' and after being on a show for eight years that I would be very much pigeonholed for something specific that I didn't want to be a part of anymore.
I've said this before, but after 'That '70s Show' ended, I solely wanted do films that inspire me, and to work with people who make me better. I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they're actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.
Acting was a total mistake-it was just something that happened as an accident. I started auditioning as just an after-school activity, and somehow it just led to something more.
The thing about ballet that I never knew about is that it's one of the most excruciating sports that I've ever been a part of. I say sports because they train constantly, every single day.
Teens are dealing with the same problems now in the '90s as they did back in the '70s, the only real difference is the clothes we wear!
I grew up in the Ukraine 'til I was about 7, and then I moved to L.A.
