I was an English major at UCLA when I was 18, and then I left after a year to start acting. I was educating myself during that time.

For whatever reason, I have an emotional life that wants to come out.

I always see nice images like that but I don't know what to do with them. I guess you share them with someone. Or you write them down in a poem. I had so many of those little images, but I never shared them or wrote any of them down.

Sometimes it is painful to be oneself; at other times it seems impossible to escape oneself.

I needed an outlet in high school and came across painting. I've actually been painting longer than I've been acting. A movie is a collaborative effort, and with painting you just have yourself.

If liking Katy Perry and drinking margaritas is gay, then who wants to be straight?!

I worked at a McDonald's drive-through. I could always tell when girls were interested: They'd drive around again and say, "I forgot something."
