I learned how to change a cloth diaper on a raccoon. I was maybe 8 or 9.

I do a lot of reading about food and the food industry, so I try to eat locally and go to the farmer's market.
I still have very normal insecurities, but I've always been made to feel like a body is a body, and it's not supposed to look like what you see in the media.
I love wearing things that come with a story.
My mom and I built a guest house on my property so that my mom could help me fostering animals. I do multiple fosters a month.
I like for jewelry to tell a story and to be able to talk about what I'm wearing. That's more important to me than a name, brand, or label.
My mom and I would make bracelets and necklaces, and I would sell it in the first, second, and third grades because that was my lunch money.
I think for women especially, writing and creating your own role, producing, directing - having some control over what you do is really important. We can pave the way for other women to send what messages they want sent.
I didn't have the safety net that a lot of young actresses have. A lot of young girls have their families around to support them and help choose wisely.
I went back to high school and decided that I wanted to be a kid for a while, whatever that means, but once again I found myself back with acting, so clearly I couldn't escape the passion.
I didn't have any media training - I didn't have anybody but myself.
With everything great comes a price, always, right?
I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.
I've never really made a big deal out of my birthday.
I have great respect for actors like Jodie Foster and Natalie Portman who went to school the entire time they were acting. All I did was one small little independent film, and I realised I couldn't balance both lives.
I have a long-standing relationship with Autism Speaks. I've been supporting them for many, many years now.
There is still so much drama in my life, but I'm not a sad person anymore.
My brother and I had a lot of freedom growing up, and thankfully, we both turned out OK.
I like a really natural looking body, so I'm not into muscles and looking like you just did 1,000 pull-ups and sit-ups and like you only eat lean turkey. That's not for me. I just like people to look like people, and so I think it's really attractive when men don't have perfect bodies.
I don't know if I'm supposed to say this, but probably not... I was a really cynical child.
I feel like every day of my life is a funny wardrobe malfunction!
I do feel like by buying rats from a pet store, you are saving them because if not, they would get fed to a snake or something.
My dad designed houses and was an architect for many years.
I'm really into the Tom Ford lipsticks. I was always afraid to wear lip color because I thought it made me look too masculine, but my makeup artist Fiona Stiles got me into wearing coral, orange-y colors from his line, and now I wear lipstick all of the time.
I never skipped a meal. I can't even recall a time when I've skipped a meal. I never understand when people say 'I'm so busy, I forgot to eat today.' It's never happened. I always find time!
My goal is to play characters that I feel I can contribute to and also ones I can contribute back to my life.
I play characters that are pretty; I play characters that are sort of intimidating and confident, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I'm that.
I was a very sensitive kid who then had to condition myself to desensitize.
When I get hate mail, I get really down on myself, and I read it to my mom, and my mom is like, 'So what? Who cares? These people don't know you, so you can't take the praise or the hate to heart.'
I love writing. I feel more connected to that than I do a lot of the other things.
In Hollywood, no one is happy with who they are. When they're young, they want to look older. When they're older, they're getting botox shot in their face to look younger.
I guess the older I get, the more understanding and forgiving I've become.
I love making things for people.
I kind of went through a rough period. I could have kept going down that road and then off the cliff and into the ocean.
I grew up in a very relaxed environment in one sense, without many rules. My mother had a problem knowing where to draw the line, which caused a chaotic and hectic home life. A lot of people took advantage of my mom.
If I told you how many times guys on set get spray muscles... men need to realize that they don't need to live up to what they think they need to live up to!
Some of my favorite pieces were my mom's, and most of those she actually hand made. I would say if my style reflects anyone or anything, it's her.
I think we use a lot of words and labels when trying to describe people: ones with autism, ones without autism. In general, I think that labeling people is a major issue, and people don't understand the power of language.
I'm animal obsessed! I basically have a farm in my house.
Everyone in my family has some kind of artistic tendency. My great grandmother was a jewelry designer, and her daughter was a ceramic tile muralist.
It's frustrating to not be able to wear the same dress twice, so I don't have a go-to dress like all girls do. Renting is definitely going to be my new fashion obsession.
If I had more confidence, I would rock a crop top.
When I'm challenged, I grow. I never want to be in a situation where I'm not challenged and not afraid. One of my favorite feelings is stepping into a film and knowing that I'm a little bit afraid of what I have to accomplish.
DJ Qualls and I have been best friends for I don't even know how long - since I was a kid, 14, 15, many, many years.
My name is not big enough for people to go, 'Let me throw money at you because you're so famous!'
I love to write what I see and what I do and what I experience, and I like to see if people can relate to that. I don't know if I am as good at making up a story in my head that has no truth to it, so that is a challenge for me.
People think that saving the planet or finding their place in that effort is a really overwhelming thought.
My dad's Jewish and my mum is Christian, so I grew up with no religion. Just whatever religion I wanted.
Animals, until you have kids of your own, animals are your kids.
I mostly eat plant-based, so give me an avocado or something, even late at night, and I'll be happy.
