  • I'm not doing any more nudity.
  • I am very driven. I work really hard, whether it's acting or my charity or even poker. When I focus on something I give it my all.
  • Everyone's always trying to show that they have brains and can do other things and that they're not afraid to take risks.
  • I want to get away from the high school thing and do other types of roles.
  • I'm pretty instinctive. I'm a quick learner.
  • Be yourself, fill your life with good people, and don't get a big head. It can all be gone tomorrow.
  • We don't live in a world that's black and white.
  • When I first saw myself in American Pie, I cringed. I hate the way I look here, the way I sound there, but that's because I'm my own worst critic.
  • I don't know that I've ever been completely comfortable with anything.
  • Things change in different countries as people grow, and as generations change.
  • Animals mean everything to me. We have to be their voice and protectors.
  • I wasn't sure how my dad would react. There was an agent sitting behind them and he told me he was embarrassed to watch the scenes. My parents have always been very open. They trust my decisions.
  • I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.
  • It's just acting.
  • I wouldn't call him a slave. I don't whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.
  • When I worry about things going on in the world and keeping me safe and my fiance safe, I worry about keeping my animals safe.
  • I can do whatever I want. I'm completely free to work with whatever studio I want.
  • I have been trying to find gas masks for dogs. I have a vet friend who said that somebody in his office got some.
  • I got to meet Mark Hamill. He signed some Star Wars posters for us. I saw the fight scenes he had. He was really into making fun of himself and Star Wars.
  • It takes time to change things. You don't really have control over what things are going to be; it's just how evolution works.
  • In Europe they can do topless on the beach everywhere, and they can do nudity. Why is it such a big deal to America?
  • Had that casting director not called me back, had those producers not liked me or those directors... everything happened for a reason.
