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.
— Amy Smart
Growing up, I was sort of a tomboy. I was the one skating with the boys.
I think that as you get older, you learn to live in yourself more securely.
I notoriously get the hiccups. When I get the hiccups, I get it numerous times in one day.
I sometimes skip meals when I travel.
I like any story that starts one place and really takes a huge journey to a whole new place; that people in their life want to take that journey. They want to be able to find things in their life that aren't working and work through them to a new place of change.
I'm just kind of taking whatever life gives me and hoping that I make the right decision.
I was a ballerina for 10 years growing up, but I stopped.
I'm not scared to look like a complete fool in front of people. It's just not one of my insecurities.
I do feel like I'm a tomboy at heart, so I have an easy time working with guys.
I have to say that as an actor, I really look for the role. I'm not really looking to see if it's for television or film, because there are highly talented people in both mediums.
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 love cooking during Christmas, all smells like the hot apple cider, the hot spiced wine.
Well, what is acting but the study of human behavior? And that's so fascinating to me.
I do Pilates and yoga and try to eat healthy.
I think that life is about growth. You continue to grow and progress, hopefully.
For me, I'm OK doing embarrassing things, when it's with somebody else. I'm not the only person to look at.
There's so many more better TV shows than films coming out, in my opinion.
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 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.
I think it's a gift to become a star, to become a celebrity.
