Amy Smart

I was a ballerina for 10 years growing up, but I stopped.

Growing up, I was sort of a tomboy. I was the one skating with the boys.

There's so many more better TV shows than films coming out, in my opinion.

Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that's so fascinating to me.

I want to take roles that challenge me and I want to like the script and obviously feel connected with the director because the director to me is so important.

The best gift we can have is living in the present moment and really enjoying it for what it is; and, not being in our heads and getting sidetracked.

I'm not scared to look like a complete fool in front of people. It's just not one of my insecurities.

I think it's a gift to become a star, to become a celebrity.

I would love to do a period piece - in the 18th or 17th century. To me, it would be such an incredible challenge because of the way people carried themselves. There are so many incredible stories within those centuries - just the language and the way they carried themselves and what they were going through.

I would love to make some kind of film about the witches and the Inquisitions. That would be really fun because I don't think their stories have been told enough.

I love cooking during Christmas, all smells like the hot apple cider, the hot spiced wine.

I'm just kind of taking whatever life gives me and hoping that I make the right decision.
