Mischa Barton

It kind of irritates me that I'm seen as this pretty face. People also say I'm too thin. The truth is pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It comes with all these stigmas.

I have a career, I worked so hard for it.

I like guys who are confident but not cocky, who are comfortable with themselves, and who know what they want.

I don't write constantly; it's two serials and a novel a year.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.
