Women can do anything, and I want to see that. I want them to make more movies for girls, and just for girls. I want studios to start doing that.
I have a lot of girlfriends, but there's something that's so easy for me about hanging out with guys. It's fun, because I feel like they accept me right back, which is really nice.
I think I'm a natural appreciator of comedy. I was definitely not the girl in junior high that all the guys wanted to date. They wanted to date my friends - which was great, because I had to be funny.
Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.
I think every girl has that a guy she has trouble letting go of.
I am generally cast as the dependable, affable, loving, friend-wife-girlfriend.
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
I was like, 'Oh, my God, girls are so pretty and soft. No stubble burn! What am I doing with guys?' [I] haven't dipped back since, but I was very appreciative of the experience.
The school reassured us that everything would be replaced.
I've been really lucky thus far with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won't do it anymore. If I feel like I have to compromise myself to continue to be in this industry, I don't want to do that.
Control the public's perception of you and nobody will care if you have any talent.
I thought they were trying to put it out. I couldn't tell you how quickly it happened. I was so traumatized that this whole thing had happened.
I didn't expect anything, but the community really responded. Cell phones, clothes, blankets, pillows . . . anything you could think of, they gave to us. Everyone was really supportive about it and offered encouraging words.
The driver pulled over. After taking a look at what happened, the driver ordered everyone to get off of the bus. So, we're just standing there and at first we saw a little flame. Then it began to spread.
