I used to be more of a sporty girl. I love outdoor activities. I haven't been doing much since living in Vancouver. I have my routines down in L.A.

I actually study boxing - my dad was a Golden Gloves champion so I learned how to fight at a very young age. Growing up in Brooklyn you always had to watch your back, so I pretty much learned to protect myself.

Follow your heart because it always knows.

I played lots of fantasy games. I would create these worlds, and I would believe in them.

I am very, very diligent and extremely hard-working.

I'm not one to take revenge. If someone does something wrong to me I leave it in the hands of the universe to take care of that person.

When I was just a kid, growing up in Brooklyn, I was constantly making home videos with my family – real silly high-concept productions like, 'Attack of the Killer Handkerchief.' I guess I knew even then that I wanted to be an actress.
