Kelly, a former scrub nurse, said in the interview that she is feeling more confident now that she is 30.

"Done with the twenties. I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself. I think my thirtieth birthday gave me permission to have all that."

"The twenties were a pain in the ass - figuring it all out. What am I doing? Where do I go?"

The actress, the daughter of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay and exotic dancer Maureen Kelly, also recalled growing up with a stripper single mom.

"She would come home at like three, four o'clock in the morning, and sometimes she would have a really great night, and so she would wake me up in the middle of the night and we'd go to Ralphs and go grocery shopping."

"And that was so much fun. We'd have the whole grocery store to ourselves, and we would have a blast and buy a hundred dollars in groceries. And it was just the best day ever. The best day."

Kelly is currently dating New York Yankees player Derek Jeter. She will next be seen alongside "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester in the upcoming thriller "The Roommate."
