I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that

But, people are recognizing me more. Sometimes fans just approach me on the street and say how much they love the show. It's great to get that kind of feedback.

I started when I was in college because I was shy and thought it would be a good way to break out of that.

It's changing a bit, but the thing in LA is everyone is either in the industry, or knows someone who is in the industry. So, they don't let on that they recognize you, that's what I've found out.

I'm a firm believer in doing things that scare you.

Sometimes you work all the way through to 5am, then get a few hours and you're back on set again.

I understand men much better than most women I know.
