I want the kids who watch 'One Tree Hill' to know that it's all pretend, and that the person at the core of that character values morals, honor and things like that. You want to inspire them to look beyond what is superficial and try to find that greater thing.

I play damaged people a lot. I'm a Cancer. And I say that tongue and cheek, but I wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm a very emotional woman.

I used to have to think about awful things to get myself emotionally connected to something.

I like my hands. They're certainly scarred up, but they're wormy. They're knuckly. They're hands that have done stuff, and they're not going anywhere.

Isn't Googling someone the first thing everyone does?! They meet someone new and Google them!

I grew up in the United Methodist Church, and church was always a very big part of my growing up.

There's something about a holiday that isn't all about how much money you spend.
