My grandmother was German. She didn't teach any of her children German. She really wanted them to be American. And now, she's since passed away, I get so frustrated sometimes. I'm like, "Oh, Oma, why didn't you teach your kids German?" My dad would have spoken German to me from birth, and I would have spoken German.

Because I'm a pale person, I take care of my skin religiously.

It's what I love about what I do and the life that I'm able to have and be able to just be so normal one day and be here the next...I feel so lucky to be able to do what I do.

I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.

It's important to be a global citizen at the same time and appreciate different cultures and different people and different ways of life.

It was really really neat to make the movie because there were mentally challenged actors in the movie. So that was really really cool to work with them and they were always really happy, and they made everybody really happy on the set too.

I really enjoy what I'm doing. I think you have to have a good time and not look too far back or too far ahead.
