I can remember crying on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 after being released from the show a few years ago

There's so much more to life than looking a certain way.

One of the great things about my job is I get to do all of these things that I may not experience had I not been an actor.

Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.

All you have to remember is 'audition' is synonymous with 'opportunity. I mean, if you absolutely hate auditioning, do you also hate opportunities? That wouldn't make much sense.

I love my job, I love being an actor and stepping into the shoes of different characters and exploring their lives. It's enriched my life extremely. I've learned more about myself and the ways of life through being an actor.

When I stopped wanting my New Year's Eve to be perfect, to bring in the New Year right, is when it started working out right. When I was young, I was always looking for the best party to be at, to ring in the New Year, and I always ended up in the car going, "Happy New Year."
