My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death. ”

I have nieces and nephews that I love hanging out with, and they think I'm the biggest goof on the planet. ”

We didn't have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they'd come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events. ”

If I wasn't doing this, I'd be in school studying political science or socioeconomic something. I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society. ”

When I worked with Jamie Lee Curtis in 'True Lies', she told me, You need a plan B, because when you have six months to a year off, you can go nuts. You need to have another focus. ”

Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose? ”

My mom is like this hard-core, liberal feminist. She's a professor in Boston, and she's been teaching women's studies for 30 years and international politics. ”

Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education. ”

For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys' clothes, played tag football. ”

When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age. ”
