[Why she liked the pilot script for "Veronica Mars" (2004)] "I loved Veronica right off the bat. She was so strong and I think it is so important because there are so few shows that portray women, especially young women as being strong and being able to stand up for themselves".
I'm not a risk taker. I don't do plunging necklines or really short skirts. I try to stay as classy as possible and provide a little mystery.
"I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with - dogs and cats, for example - from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts!" (on being a vegetarian)
"I pushed myself way too hard during the first year of "Veronica Mars" (2004) and I got moody and run-down. Now I'll go to bed early instead of going out with friends. It's not always the most fun option, but I know I need at least eight hours of sleep to feel balanced".
(On the best time to be naked) "I rarely wear clothes when I'm home by myself. I love making breakfast naked. But you've got to make sure the gardener's not coming that day."
I'm carded for R-rated movies. And I get talked down to a lot. When I try to go rent a car or buy an airplane ticket or other stuff adults do, I get 'Okaaaaaay, honey.' I remember when I was 18, getting crayons in a restaurant.
(On figuring out the mysteries on 'Veronica Mars') " Rob loves to be a tease. But I've picked up a lot. I ask guest stars, So... how long are you contracted for? That usually tells me something."
(On Veronica Mars): "I like that it's a female heroine, that it's a role model, and I like that it's strong, tough female able to be feminine. When you actually watch it, it's very relatable. Buffy was a female heroine, but she was fighting vampires."
(Her thoughts on being an actress) "As an actor and as a woman willing to step outside of her comfort zone, I admire actresses that do that, like Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich. Any woman who's willing to not look beautiful. A lot of this business is based on looks."
