When something is dramatized it provokes a much more emotive response than just hearing a story on the news.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I'm not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones.

I guess the one thing that people don't know about me is, I had my belly button pierced but not anymore.

I like 'X Factor' as much as the next person, but I do get overwhelmed with the amount of reality TV. It's such cheap programming and such a load of rubbish, most of it.

It's nice to bring the changes with everything you do. As an actor, that's what you want to do, all the time.

I have to admit, I go through phases of being good and bad. When I'm being good, I go to the gym three to four times a week. I do much better in a class with other people. I like aerobics and circuit training.
