I know Amy Smart has a lot of INO fans. Whenever I come across pictures of her, there are a lot of happy people in the comment section. Amy is currently the star of the psychological thriller Mirrors (alongside Keifer Sutherland) and graces the cover of this week’s Page Six Magazine.

The former ballerina’s first major film role was Varsity Blues, but it didn’t quite catapult her to stardom.

“[The cast] all thought Varsity Blues was going to make us stars!” she laughs. “But it came and went, and I had to get up the next day and just keep working for it. It wasn’t as easy as everyone said it would be.”

She maintains a positive outlook on life and her career, which includes some 30 movies (Just Friends, The Butterfly Effect and Crank), she is inspired partly by the popular book The Secret, the premise of which is that if you really want something to happen, you can will it to.

“I really think there is truth to The Secret,” she says. “I think that it works 100 percent. Lately I have been really trying to take my career a step beyond. I felt ready to carry a movie, ready to have a show. Then I focused really hard on those things and they happened.”

Her unfettered optimism even extends to the lost girls – without mentioning names – of young Hollywood, of whom she says,

“I just think those people need a little bit more love.”
