Learning how to fly, for me, was so euphoric.

It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body, or is it something deeper than that?

Few people know this about me, but I love baking pies.

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.

I don't think people should have boundaries put on them, by themselves or society or another gender, because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.

Not to put down any of these other movies I've done (since 'Boys Don't Cry,') but they weren't meaty like this. I feel really lucky to have found two amazing roles before I hit 30.
