Sophia Bush

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.

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

When you use God as an excuse to hate people and you use God as an excuse to cut people down, first of all, I think it's insulting to God.

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'm such a sucker for love and I believe in it and I always want it to win.

I think the greatest thing that we can do is take care of each other.

I've always wanted to fight for people who didn't have arms. I've always wanted to speak up for people who don't have a voice. I've always wanted to protect people who couldn't protect themselves. It's my nature. It's my instinct.

There are fundamentalist psychopaths in every religion in the world. Every single one.

I like all of the mental, psychological thriller movies too. I enjoy horror movies across the board.

Because I'm 5'4' and athletically built, if I gain five pounds it looks like a lot.

I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore.

It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.

I've always been the long-term relationship, go-home-and-meet-mom girl.

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

I get to do what I love every day. I get to crawl into someone else's head and I love that.

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.

Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you.

Getting wasted is only OK when you're young enough to not know better.

I own four copies of Robin WIlliams's Live on Broadway comedy special for HBO. One in Wilmington, one in L.A., one in my trailer, and one at my parents' house. I can watch it over and over again and it never gets old. He is the funniest, wittiest man on the planet!

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