I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.

I haven't had a lot of celebrities around me growing up.

A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction.

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have.

Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it.

I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality.

And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that.

I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God.

I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry.
