Through my whole career, that's been a major thing - bringing my family with me.

As a child, I was a clown. I didn't hesitate to make a fool of myself and I would love to completely take on wacky characters.

Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle - clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake.

I think in terms of me shying away from modelling, I would like to clarify in some way that I was taking a break from many things in my life and obviously what people in the public see is that I'm pulling away from what is more public.

You come across those real, genuine friendships so rarely in your life and they are so precious, you know the people who really have your back, who love you unconditionally and aren't your family. You don't stumble across those people very often.

My family was always wondering why I ended up playing people who were mentally ill, insane, downtrodden, and a little crazy. I think what they don't understand is that most female parts are written basically as hysterical women.

I cannot bring Christ to my neighbor and to the world if I have not first given him to my family.

I'm terribly fastidious. I like symmetry and neatness, but my house is as chaotic as any other family's.
