On breaking into acting: "Something that is out of my comfort zone, because people see me as this innocent, doll-faced beauty. It's super weird to say that about myself, I know. But now my reputation is turning into 'Oh, she’s sexy,' which is better. I want to play a psycho, something more challenging than just 'the girlfriend' part."

On making her own sausage: "We make all these amazing sausages. When I was growing up, we would wake up at 4 a.m. and catch the animals. You see, this is the sort of thing I get myself in trouble for." 

On her man-eater reputation in the tabloids: "I actually hang out with a lot of guys, and whenever I hang out with a famous guy, I'm instantly dating them. So I just laugh it off."
