Sometimes you have to get to the heart of a character through your heart. Your own heart. And it's what makes us similar and what makes us different.

I'm a risk-taker. It's where my passion lies, so I don't want to play it safe. That means I'm going to fail sometimes.

It's how you look at beauty. Is it only an outward appearance with hair and makeup and a hot body, or is it something deeper than that?

The idea of playing a character for even two years, to me feels claustrophobic - only because I want to play a lot of different people.

I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream. I never thought this would ever happen.

As long as we dare to dream and don't get in the way of ourselves, anything is possible - there's truly no end to where our dreams can take us.

When I was a swimmer and I would lose a heat in something I was doing whether it backstroke or breaststroke, were two of my most strongest strokes, I would look at how whoever it was that won and beat me and think, "What did they do? What were... What were the qualities that they had that I can incorporate into my swimming to make me better?"
