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

“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.”

“Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education.”

“I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big, famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.”

“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.”

“My mom is this liberal, feminist, Mormon powerhouse. I just love her to death.”

“I was raised in Boston by three older brothers and a very strong and empowering single mom.”

“My mom is like this hard-core, liberal feminist. She's a professor in Boston, and she's been teaching women's studies for 30 years and international politics.”

“My parents divorced when I was born, and my mother is a political science professor, like a feminist Mormon, which is sort of an oxymoron.”

“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.”
