I'm a believer in the parent first, friend second philosophy, and trying to find that balance.

I'd been out in Los Angeles for about eight years, knocking around. I actually, instead of waiting tables, worked in offices as a temporary assistant.

Sometimes doing a movie for a short period of time is better than committing eight months to a television show.

I didn't want to go to college. I wanted to move to Los Angeles right out of high school.

I think that there is a tragic misfit at the core of me, and I've just done a lot of work on myself. I love a good self-help book; I've read a ton of them. I love self-help seminars and therapy and all that. I think that probably, at my core, if I had done no work on myself, I would probably be Laura from The Mysteries Of Laura, but I worked hard to be a more stable person because that's what I wanted out of my life.

I also love horror movies; I like me a big Peter Berg action movie. I'm a movie lover in general.
