I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me, 'Don't you want to have a normal job and a normal family?' I guess that would be good advice for some people, but I wanted to act.

My routine is get up, have a cup of coffee, make a shake, have a workout, go walk the dog.

You can't blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don't ask for it right off the bat.

I'd say a little over a year ago I started doing TM [Transcendental Meditation] and that's really changed everything.

The idea is to be healthy, not to wear yourself down or to try and be a twig or change yourself drastically.

I realised it was only me who was stopping myself from living my life.

If somebody ever wished to be me for a day, they'd be the most pissed-off person once they got here. They would be, like, in hell.
