“I remember hitting Sarah Michelle Gellar with a right hook during my first week on the job. It was awful. They usually pair actors with stunt doubles to avoid things like that.”

“The letters from jail are always disconcerting.”

“I remember having a Mike Tyson T-shirt back in the day that I used to sleep in. And there some things that Tyson did along the way that I wasn't too psyched to associate myself with. But back in the day, just as a fighter, what a dream that was to watch and root for him.”

“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.”

“I wake up and play a different person every day. Playing all these different characters and trying to figure out who your true authentic self is at the core of that as you're playing all these different roles, and man, that self-awareness starts to come into effect. And you start to see who you really are.”

“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.”

“There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.”

“I joined the Twitterverse in the second season of 'Dollhouse.' Friends that I admire were already in that space, like Kevin Smith.”

“You know, I really am probably one of the sweetest, most sensitive people you'll ever meet.”

“I think people hear and feel the genuine nature of my passion for the causes. Specifically, with the non-profit in Uganda, my mother is the president, and she was an African politics professor for almost 50 years, so I think people know that I align myself with people who know what they're talking about.”

“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.”

“I'm a more mature actress now.”

“I don't care who you are, everyone has been through it - that feeling where you'd like to be someone else.”

“I like to have one night on the weekend where I can just cuddle up at my house.”
