I could truly have gone through life thinking that women were these venomous creatures. Turns out, they're not.

The life of my persona has nothing to do with me,

If I hadn't been an actress, I was thinking seriously about going into psychology. It's just really what I'm interested in: the human psyche and how we process information.

I have plenty of vanity in my life. I want to look pretty in the world. But it can be this bottomless pit.

My go-to gifts are scarves from my friend Matin Maulawizada's nonprofit organization, Afghan Hands, which supports disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. In exchange for their beautiful embroidery, the women are given financial aid and classes in math and literacy. The scarves are all stunning and one of a kind.

I used to talk about my personal life all the time. It's the most fun thing to talk about, ... the people in my life are hurt.
