I never had a real job. I started acting in high school, and then I started working. So, I never got to have that experience.

Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that's when you're most beautiful.

I live in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg, so I just like to wander around. Williamsburg's such a cool little neighborhood community spot.

I'm happy to just sit in a cafe and watch people. It's my favorite thing to do, for sure.

Be confident, and just do it. It's all about not questioning what everyone else is thinking, since they're probably looking to others to know what is or isn't cool.

Im a total weirdo and have often felt like an outcast and a freak, and I love that. It makes things so much more exciting.

I'm pretty much a thrift shop gal. Flea markets on Sundays.

Turquoise is my birthstone; Im a Sagittarius.

My goal is to never lose. That may not be realistic, but I'm going to try.

She was unequal to anyone's wistfulness. She had made too little of her life. Its loneliness shamed her like a crime.

I like to read to my kids before bed. With my first two sons we went through every Wizard Of Oz book, every original, Frank Baum Oz book.
