I have always believed in standing up for what I believe in and I believe that everyone deserves the right to love whoever they love no matter who they are.

Working with amazing people, you continue to learn and develop yourself, as an actor and as a person.

I started acting when I was about nine. I always wanted to get into acting since I was really little but my parents would never let me because they'd heard all the bad stuff about being in the business as a young actor and stuff like that.

You have to maintain who you are as a person and stay true to yourself - that's my biggest moral as a human being, as well as a very self-deprecating sense of humor.

There's often a natural inclination to want more.

It's cool to play a vampire.

Growing up in the acting world, you have a lot of opportunities to change who you are and what you believe in based on how people treat you. I never wanted to do that.
