I've always been very vocal about my religion. It's a big part of who I am.

I grew up at the base of a mountain in Virginia, so my comfort zone is that Appalachian area, where all the dudes wear Carhartt and all the women can put on a beautiful sweater with a snowman applique and nobody raises an eyebrow.

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

Im from northern Virginia, but I grew up next to the West Virginia border, so it was hills and farmland. We had that sense of adventure you get from growing up around old farmhouses and lazy, rolling hills, you know?

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

I think the first couple of times you do make-out scenes, you psych yourself out and it's really nerve racking.

Everybody wants a sensational story.
