I am a single mom and I'm the breadwinner and I have to work and I have to do these things and that's just the way it is. I don't think my son even knows any different.

I had my heart set on becoming an English teacher, but stumbled into acting after meeting a theatrical agent in my dad's restaurant in San Diego.

Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.

I wasn't willing to be a victim. I only wanted to survive, and I only wanted to get through.

There are so many heroes just walking around in everyday life. It blows me away.

So I begged, half way into season two, for them to let me cut my hair.

Oh heck yeah, I totally would love to have a Phantom Dennis in real life.
