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

One Tree Hill was a great learning opportunity for me, and Im excited to go and apply that elsewhere and see where I end up.

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

I like the guy who reads. Being articulate is something that's very important to me. But you need to know how to chop wood and fix a car and do guy things. I didn't grow up with spectators. Nobody was a spectator.

One Tree Hill was my very first television audition; it was a fairytale. I feel really lucky to have that level of success right out of the gate.

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.
