I go into every film not just wanting to play the hot girl in the movie. It kills me.

As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.

I don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.

I kind of feel like every time I do a film, it is me and an entire male ensemble cast.

Being typecast is the enemy of any actor, so if you can try to do something that flips on the head peoples' ideas of who you are or what you can do, that's my biggest aim.

Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

I don't feel the need to be the hot chick every second of the day. I like to be able to surprise people when I turn it on. I want it to be like the movie 'She's All That' when they unveil her.

I haven't worked enough to worry about getting typecast, but I do as a film lover didn't want to be working with the bad guys. I didn't want to be making a movie I thought was contributing to a lower base of movies that I just didn't think were helping people, really.
