Portia Doubleday quotes:

In my heart and soul, I always knew that I wanted to be in show business.

If I could play football, I'd play football. But not women's football - real football. Or I'd just date a quarterback.

Growing up I did commercials and things like that, but nothing serious. As I got older, my family is really hardcore into academics. They weren't wanting to necessarily support an acting career; it's a really fickle business, and it can be difficult and unstable. They were rooting for education and the whole nine yards.

I'm more androgynous, because men are supposed to be more spatial, women more literal - I'm a tomboy.

I come from an artistic family. My dad's an actor, my mother's an actress, my sister's an actress. So I kind of grew up in that kind of environment. Oddly enough, I never really knew about my parents' work. I've seen small clips of it, but we never actually spoke about the business.

I've always had a more spatial mind, mathematical, than literal.

I guess rebelliousness has been explored in many movies, but what about the smart kids' rebellion? Not just the motorcycle jackets and that kind of rebellion; it's the dorky kid - what could he do?

I played soccer for 12 years on three different teams at a time.
