I went to public school up until junior high.

I feel like nowadays everyone perceives you the same way. You can't even have a private life away from your family; it's like everything is very hands-on!

I have realized that you can close yourself off to life if you put walls up, but it's a difficult thing ... You can't see over, people can't see in, and you also can't see out. So I've gotten quite comfortable with just being unafraid. I keep saying the same thing: it's not about being fearless but really just embracing the fears and using them.

I've actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.

The strangest part about being famous is you don't get to give first impressions anymore. Everyone already has an impression of you before you meet them.

I am not closed off to anything right now. That is what I was saying about not having any more walls up. I don't want to deprive myself of any bit of life.

I'm not ready to get married, but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too, someday.
