I do think you've got to fight a lot of the time to be respected in business, in relationships, in life. I learned that early in my career.
I have a real problem giving up that kind of control. You know, my mother helps me.
I lived in a town called New Canaan, which is just outside of Connecticut, where they are far too snobby to even mention celebrities. Many American towns are famous for things like, "See the World's Largest Ball of String!" I think my town's would probably have to be "Most Pretentious People".
Now I've got this moniker that I'm the foot-in-mouth gal, and I keep thinking, In what way? Because I said something you don't agree with? Because I said something you don't like? I'm just telling you my opinion. I hate the idea that I can't be honest about how I feel about things because it's going to piss somebody off who feels differently. That seems preposterous to me.
I love when people come up to me and tell me that they watch it. And ask like, "Do you think Ellen and Patrick are going to get back together?" I love that because we're working hard and it's great to know that that work is being appreciated.
Yeah, I have giant breasts — in a bra. It's so disconcerting — there are so many women now with fake breasts that that's the standard; that's what you're supposed to look like. But real boobs don't look like that, and a lot of working out won't make them look like that.
My sense of humor is the raunchier, inappropriate kind. It's so much funnier than the quirky stuff.
When I was 13, I was flat as a board and totally unhappy about it. I would write in my diary every day, Oh, if I could just have a B cup by summer! I actually prayed for big boobs. So I developed at about 14, and then I was 15, 16, 17, and they kept going.
Isn't it better to be alone than pretend you're someone else? Be you. Find you. Be happy with that.
I think people don't expect a lot from me. I'm trying to think at what age I noticed it was more about how I looked and less about what I do, but to me that was never the interesting part about me. I had nothing to do with my looks.
I'm still figuring out who I am. But at least I know what I want.
A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.
Oh God — I look back now, and it seems so gross. At just 14 years old, I had to wear a thong bikini. And then they used that scene in the trailer, so my entire school saw it! There are still men who come up to me today and say, "You were really hot in that film!" I was 14, for God's sake!
