SOPHIA BUSH

I'm not a waif-y girl and never will be. I think it's healthy when fitness experts encourage fitness rather than getting a certain body shape.

To me, I think people who don't think it's a big deal to toss a plastic bottle in the garbage are not only being irresponsible, but I think they're being disrespectful of all the other humans on earth.

We've all known a John Tucker. We've either known one, dated one or our best friend has dated one. I think a lot of men at one point or another have been a John Tucker.

Fashion is in my blood. Growing up, I was always clacking around the house in my mother's shoes.

I had the most incredible English and literature teachers in school, and it really influenced my love of storytelling. It's what made me excited to study journalism in college. I love editorials and documentaries. All of that came from being given the opportunity to lose myself in good writing when I was a kid.

When I started training, I just started running every day, which you shouldn't do. I learned that lesson the hard way by getting a stress fracture.

People just deserve to be treated with kindness.

I want to get married again and have kids and even adopt.

I'm not going to dinner with somebody who eats like a bird, nor do I want to eat like a bird. But its weird: In our business, I'm a size 2 and considered curvy. Its important to remind young women, 'Listen, even skinny girls have cellulite, even Halle Berry has cellulite, and what you see in photos isn't totally real.'

I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place.

I love to box. I once took a kickboxing class in college and got totally hooked.

So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.

To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there.

When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.

If I wasn't an actor, I'd probably be working in journalism.

It's no secret - if you know me, have ever met me or have shared a meal with me - that I'm a passionate environmentalist.

I think it's easy for people to assume that fame is equal to glory, but it can be a very isolating experience.

I don't think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own.

I enjoy getting riled up, and nothing's gonna do that for you like a good scary movie.

I fight for the environment because we only have one planet, but I see how the environment affects poverty and how the environment affects women around the world.

In the initial season of a show, you're figuring out your character and their life and their background and you're putting together all the chapters of the book.

I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday.

I'm a bit of a worrier, to an extreme. I'll crack a joke, then worry if I've offended someone - even when they're laughing. I have a guilt complex, always worrying.

I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights.

Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
