'Divergent' star Shailene Woodley insists her friends do not think she is odd because they are all like her.

The 22-year-old actress is a keen environmentalist and only mixes with people with the same interests, reported Showbiz Spy.

"All of them live that lifestyle already, so I'm fortunate. We were foraging for wild leeks in Maine last year, and one of my friends said, 'Does anyone want the rest of my rhizome?' And we all cracked up, thinking that only here and with this group of people would someone ask that question.

"I find myself living in two worlds sometimes - being this person who can walk a red carpet in a huge, ball gown, high heels and mountains of makeup, but also being the girl at a hippie festival in the middle of the forest with war paint on my face, dancing around with hairy armpits. I exist so well in both, and I used to feel like I had to choose one or the other," she said.
