The 28-year-old Star Wars actress – who began acting as a child – said that she was not a wild teen and didn't touch marijuana in her high-school days.
She said: "I didn't really go to high-school parties, and yeah I didn't touch pot till I was in my 20s.
"I didn't get flat-out drunk until I went to college. But I think that's a good thing in many ways."
The Harvard graduate, who was born in Israel, also denies the rumors that she shared a passionate kiss with Hollywood actor Penn, 49.
"He's obviously someone I'm friends with," she said.
"We were… on the [Cannes 2008] jury together – and we had a really great time, and then… It was one of those things where you're like: 'Oh my God. I'm that person who's caught in this sh***y rumor brigade'.
"You can't win. You don't say anything and everyone's like, 'It's true'. You say something, and you're keeping the story alive."
