When I first saw myself in American Pie, I cringed. I hate the way I look here, the way I sound there, but that`s because I`m my own worst critic.

Things change in different countries as people grow, and as generations change.

Had that casting director not called me back, had those producers not liked me or those directors... everything happened for a reason.

I want to get away from the high school thing and do other types of roles.

We don`t live in a world that`s black and white.

I got to meet Mark Hamill. He signed some Star Wars posters for us. I saw the fight scenes he had. He was really into making fun of himself and Star Wars.

I`m pretty instinctive. I`m a quick learner.

Animals mean everything to me. We have to be their voice and protectors.

I am very driven. I work really hard, whether it`s acting or my charity or even poker. When I focus on something I give it my all.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.

I don`t know that I`ve ever been completely comfortable with anything.

I wouldn`t call him a slave. I don`t whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.

I wasn`t sure how my dad would react. There was an agent sitting behind them and he told me he was embarrassed to watch the scenes. My parents have always been very open. They trust my decisions.

I`m not doing any more nudity.

Be yourself, fill your life with good people, and don`t get a big head. It can all be gone tomorrow.
