Strength and independence are always something that I'm drawn to in all my characters, no matter how different they are from one another.

I do not hope somebody breaks in. However, if they did, I pity them. I pity the fool that breaks into my house.

My very best friend died in a car accident when I was 16 years old. That was the hardest blow emotionally that I have ever had to endure. Suddenly, you realize tomorrow might not come. Now I live by the motto, 'Today is what I have.'

I get tickets all the time and can't stay under the speed limit. I'm bad at that.

I had always been a reader and a skeptic, so when I was old enough to break away from organized religion, it just came naturally.

I wanted to be a disgusting, oozing zombie, not a sexy, cleavage zombie, which is what I was expecting, given my previous film work.

Reading keeps me sane. Growing up, it was my scape, my alternative; it provided both rebellion and peace.
