When I was modeling as a teenager, I just ignored it when people said to lose two inches off my hips. I had more jobs than I could take. So why would I even want more?

I did one year at NYU, and I'd love to go back there someday

Directors and writers have a lot of stress as well, because they have people they answer to.

I was modeling with an agency in New York and a manager with the agency introduced himself to me one day and he said he had auditions for someone my age. He asked if I would be interested in doing some.

I'm still a shy person. I've learned to put that aside on certain occasions. I have to. It's part of my job.

As actors we try to find different sides of ourselves.

Well, I think that a lot of times when you're working on a film, there aren't really opportunities to get to know all the people you have to work with.
