Where you’ve seen her :
On TV as Faith, the superpowered, streetwise sociopath on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Also in the cheerleader flick Bring It On and in the upcoming films City by the Sea, The New Guy, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

But could she write her name in the snow ?
“For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys’ clothes, played tag football, and even peed like a boy. [laughs] I swear to God. We’d go on road trips with my mom, and when we’d make the inevitable pit stops on the side of the highway, I’d jump out and line up next to my brothers.”

A fine example of modern medicine :
“In my first movie, That Night, with Juliette Lewis and C. Thomas Howell, I had a scene with two other girls where we applied a cream to our chests to make our breasts grow. I was 10 at the time and pretty flat chested - people used to make fun of me for being flat as a board. Anyway, I remember thinking, I bet this stuff really works. So I rubbed it all over, and sure enough - look ! [arches her back] It worked !”

When she’s right, she’s right :
“There is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.”
