You can make or break an outfit by not knowing your body type – certain things work on certain people. Make sure you’re dressing for your leg-length, hip/chest size, etc.
‘Dial Star’ is about an aspiring actress who finds the cell phone of AnnaLynne McCord and impersonates her.
Honestly, after about three years on a show, you’re like, ‘Thank you very much for giving me a step up. Now can I go do movies?’
I loved killing zombies in ‘Day of the Dead.’ I basically welcome anything that involves being dirty or bloody or shooting guns.
I grew up with not a lot of money and I definitely shopped at Goodwill. But even in my most unfortunate state, I was really blessed compared to a lot of the rest of the world. I had a really great chance to follow my dreams and have them actually come true.
But if an actress asks me my opinion, I would tell her there are a million different designers who make faux fur. If you like that look, wear faux fur. If you’re doing it on the red carpet, you’re doing it for how it looks. Faux fur and real fur look the same on camera.
I don’t want my dad to say, ‘My daughter is an actress on a TV show.’ I want him to say, ‘My daughter cares about people.’ I would love to know that I’m a role model in Hollywood.
A good two years after Hurricane Katrina I remember feeling so devastated and so ignorant that there was so much damage still left. I felt like here I was an American and this is an American city and the government hasn’t done enough and people haven’t given back enough. Everyone forgot and the city was lying in waste.
My last trip to New Orleans was for the fifth anniversary of Katrina, and I had the awesome opportunity to bring my family down. We all worked on a house together and met some of the families.
Before I was going to be an actress, I was going to be a veterinarian! I thought I was one as a child. I was the kid who was like, ‘Daddy! I want a kitty! It needs a mommy!’ And my dad was such a sucker. Every time I would beg, with tears flying down my face, about how this animal needs love, needs a home. He would cave.
