I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent.

It's fun to stay at the Y! M! C! A!

I think I was born an artist. But the key is that I have a mom that encouraged and supported my artistic side. She still has the stick-figure drawings framed.

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.

It's actually really great to be a student and an actor, because I get to do this job that I love, then just when I think my head might explode, I get to go to school where they don't really care about what magazine cover I'm on.

Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.
