When I started acting, I had a really strong discipline of knowing that you had to be on time, knowing that you had to work 12 to 16 hours a day, knowing you had to be prepared, knowing you had to be ready, and it's very interesting because if you're an artist and you're creating, you can work very, very long hours but as you're putting out that love of creation, it's almost like you're charged by it, you're charged by the process of it.

If we all just took a moment to be a little more thankful and kind to people, or smile at people, it could really change someone's day.

I felt like the dark hair added like a toughness to my face also, which was really important.

I'm not a big heel person anyways, I'll wear them on the red carpet, but I've always been the one who loves loafers and brogues.

But the funny thing is, I broke my finger not on set doing kung fu. I broke my finger when I fell down the stairs prior to going on set.

Modeling gave me a strong discipline of professionalism where you work very long hours.

I knew that I always wanted to be a filmmaker, an actor, a writer and a director, that was always my plan.
