Actually, the kids at school don't treat me any differently at all just because I'm on television.

Mostly, nothing's really changed. I'm still the dorky nerd that I always was.

I was strong enough not to let them get the best of me, but I'm definitely one who has taken what people say to heart and let it eat away at me.

In real life, one of my friends was killed in a car accident during our sophomore year.

If I had to give one piece of advice to incoming college freshmen, I'd say always be true to yourself.

Part of growing up is just taking what you learn from that and moving on and not taking it to heart.

Sure, I have a job now, but the acting business isn't always that solid, and so I wanted something to fall back upon.
