When I was a kid, I wanted to walk with my dad's limp - my dad was my hero - but that infuriated him, and he would make me walk back and forth in the living room until I walked without it.

My father was a doctor.

My grandmother was born in 1900, and she would regale me with tales I call 'Little House on the Prairie' tales, but they were tales of segregated and racist America growing up in Alabama and Mississippi, where she came from.

Dancing With the Stars' is so Middle America, and people take it so seriously.

Some days I think I look kind of cute, but other days I try to avoid the mirror.

I started acting at the University of Michigan in my sophomore year.

I try to make my bed every day for mental health. Coming home to an unmade bed or a room with clothes all over will depress me.
