A lot of times, identifying with a character in a book or a movie makes me feel really vulnerable. Especially in books, it's like being able to see an amplified version of yourself, and it's very surreal.

Love is being understanding and compassionate.

I've been very passionate about animals for as long as I can remember, and ever since I became an actress, I've always done my best to get involved with animal charities and such.

I grew up on that stage. I learned almost everything I know there.

I have a little journal that I always keep with me, and when I need to, I'll write poems and things. It really helps to clear my head.

Love is realizing that they are going to make mistakes but knowing you can't hold it against them.

I try to remind myself that nothing is permanent. The chaos and the stress of life won't last forever. Eventually, it will go away and I will once again be left with nothing but happiness.
