I was all dolled up and I bumped into Greg Smith (Gregory Smith) at a WB event and he walked right up to me and looked right at me and didn't recognize me because usually when he sees me for the show I'm the girl with the frizzy hair and glasses. So not the glamor look. The good news is I only have to spend thirty minutes in the makeup trailer. I just wear mascara, chap stick, put my glasses on and Hannah arrives.

When Bright (Chris Pratt) and I first did our kissing scenes, on Everwood (2002), it was so funny because our director told me I should think of myself as the librarian with the glasses flying off. He's like "I want hands flying. I want crazy, crazy passion". So basically I attacked him.

I think the worst thing I ever tried in high school was the tight, rolled jeans look. I also had neon suspenders. I thought I was cool, but I look back now and I cringe.
