There are photos of me with my Pony trucker hat, sideways. Truly, awesomely, horrible.

I love the idea of my daughter looking back at her childhood and growing up with a dog.
I had a big 'New York Times' crossword puzzle phase.
I can be a binger when it comes to information, but most of the time, I'm pretty good, and I try to focus on my own life and personal communication.
I don't have a 'Life's short, play hard' type of philosophy. That's about fear. I tend to think that life is very long - but you should still play hard.
Scientology helps me in acting to focus on communication.
Growing up, I was a bit of a tomboy; feminine things took a while to find their place in my world. But diamonds made me understand the magic and beauty of jewelry.
I love to dance and sing.
If I can't find anything good, I am just going to have to get my butt in gear and start learning how to do everything.
My first thing was a McDonald's commercial.
Work hard; be ethical.
I had fallen in love with doing television.
I want to do a love story. I really want to do a love story.
The SAT is not particularly relevant to my life.
I told my parents I wanted an agent, and they decided to let me have a go at it. Then I started working right away. I was 12.
Working with a kid is just so interesting to see.
I can change my mind and can learn other things. And anything I don't know, I'm capable of learning if I so desire or if it's necessary.
'Confirmation' is the movie I'm super proud to be a part of.
My theory is, if you force yourself to smile enough, then you start to feel it. Which comes in handy all the time.
I'm an NPR and KCRW person.
I'm close with my whole family, but it requires email and texting because they don't all live nearby!
Love scenes feel very mechanical. But our whole job is to make it look real.
I think part of the beauty of our relationship with jewelry is that it can change and evolve as we do ourselves.
My bike is my main form of transportation, so I've got a red clip-on taillight.
Those auditions - you sit down, and literally the whole time you're there, they scrutinize you, and you know that. But you can't take it personally.
I know I am eventually going to want to write or produce.
There are times when I think, 'I'm going to get this part. I know I am. I'm going to get this.' And then I don't, and I'm wondering, 'What happened? I went back five times!'
At the premiere for 'Leave It to Beaver,' I was walking down the red carpet, and they were screaming my name, and I'm wondering, 'What do I do?' So I had to think, 'OK, calm down, one person at a time.' Everything is kind of rattling, but afterwards, my publicist said I did really good.
Erinn Hayes is hysterical in person, and I love that.
I cheated once on a spelling test. I didn't know how to spell period. I leaned over the desk and looked at someone else's paper. I was probably ten or something like that.
It was when I met everybody on 'The Perfect Score' that, like, nightclubs became a thing.
I was going to school with a girl who was an actor. And I was, like, 'No, I want to be an actor.'
Jason Katims is fantastic.
There's a lot in Scientology that develops confidence because there is peace, I think, that I've gotten just to know that what I do know, I do know.
It's funny to say its fun to explore someone's really rough time, but it is. It's exciting.
When a woman makes up her mind, she gets what she wants.
If being a skateboarder were a personality type and not actually an athletic activity, then I'd say I'm a skateboarder. But I don't ride one. I'm a bicycle person.
I love 'Lost' and 'Mission: Impossible III.'
I look like a sweet, corn-fed kid. My roles are my rebellion.
Green has always been my mom's favorite color. My father, aunt and I have gotten her jade, emerald, and peridot pieces over the years, and we always seem to be on the lookout.
I want to do an action movie where they say, 'Go the gym and get ripped like Linda Hamilton.'
I didn't plan on going to college, at least not a full-time schedule. I still have that plan. I may take some individual classes at some point as an indulgence.
I'll continue doing good projects.
Sometimes, I get so annoyed when other people brag. And sometimes, I know that I'm better than that or I've got something better in the works; I don't say anything. I just say, 'Really? That's great.'
Number one, as an audience member, I tend to like violent movies and TV shows because it's not real.
I wrote and recorded a song that I highly doubt I will release. The lyrics are somewhat risque. I may have to create an alter ego, and she can be the 'singer.'
Making a movie is a little bit like high school. Because everybody lives together, and you see each other every day, and word travels fast around there.
After 'Traffic,' I was a total homebody. I was still a kid.
You can't have a relationship at all if you don't trust each other.
I tend to be a fan of darker shows and love 'The Americans,' 'Ray Donovan,' 'True Detective,' 'House of Cards' and 'Peaky Blinders.'
