When I was little, we moved around a lot, actually. In second grade, I think I went to three different schools. We were in Nevada and Oregon and as well as a few different places in Nebraska. I did go to high school in the same town.

I didn't go to high school, and I didn't go to grade school either. Education, I think, is for refinement and is probably a liability.

We were like a white family from the 1920s or something. My parents had this bizarre, different way of looking at things from the people that surrounded us. I went to an all-Mexican grade school and an all-black high school, and not many people in those places liked the same stuff as me.

I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.

I was involved with my theater program in high school, and I was involved in a festival where I could audition for a lot of different schools.

I moved to L.A. right out of high school, but not to act. I think I chose it because it was on the same time zone as Seattle, where I'm from.
