I made some friends at Listerine and they taught me a little bit about oral care. That half of adults suffer from oral disease, that the number one chronic disease among children is oral disease, that we’re only taking care of 25% of our mouths when brushing alone and there are more germs in your mouth than there are people on the planet.

I would point out that I’m an actress for a reason! If I were popular in high school, I would have considered another career because I wouldn’t have been alone in my room, making up other characters for myself. I definitely had growing pains. The popular kids didn’t want anything to do with the girl who was starting the drama club.

When I’m doing a film, I love getting together after work with my costars. But we get back to L.A. and I’m like, ‘I don’t want to go to a club with you, dude. I mean, I think you’re rad, and if you want to come play Scrabble with me, that’s amazing.’

I don’t know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.

With the counseling of my family doctor, my mother ended up turning to Weight Watchers and their children’s program.

I can safely say that other than macaroni and cheese, there’s no processed food in my life. There’s no inorganic food in my life these days. There’s no junk food. There’s not a lot of sugar. There’s no soy. I mean, really everything that’s going into my body is pretty pure.

Sometimes I make very selfish choices like I did ‘Once Upon A Time’ for my inner 8-year-old and my hypothetical future child.

I will end up with someone in the arts. I am positive. I eat, breathe and sleep acting. And I’ll end up with someone who is happy staying at home and having me cook supper. But I also really need to be intellectually challenged and stimulated. I want someone bookish, and someone who is passionate.

I’m a better person in a relationship, and I’m a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid, because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.

It’s like, if you can’t focus on a movie for 90 minutes without looking at your phone, then don’t go to the movies! You’ve got some issues, so you should probably stay home and work on those issues, and not distract everyone with lights, and sounds, oh my gosh, the tapping on the screens, it makes me crazy!

I understand why society, especially American society, is gravitating toward fairy tales, given our economy. We’ve been exploring the world of witches and wizards for years. We’ve been exploring the world of vampires for years. Clearly the public – I mean, I feel like all of this was ushered in by ‘Harry Potter’ – in my own fannish beliefs.
