    I took P.S. I Love You thinking it was going to be a little funny, and I ended up crying every day on that film. It was one of the more difficult dramas I've done. I love to laugh. I love comedies. I just have to find a good comedy because for women [actors], they are few and far between.

    The Office set an entire plot around debating whether you were hot or not. Have you seen that episode?

    Rachel Hamilton, CAMBRIDGE, ILL.

    What do you think of the state of women in Hollywood?

    Samantha Woo, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA
