I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact, it's probably been quite the opposite.

It's a character I've created. Actually, that's pretty much the opposite of me, off a farm in the Midwest. ↗

In the movies, they make you look good and tough, but in real life, it's completely the opposite. I do these ueber roles, I think, because in real life I'm quite shy and reserved. In real life, I'm a dork. ↗
