I think that just being alive inspires me.

I try to just take in every moment of being alive.

I strongly believe that whenever there's failure or you feel like you've failed, it's only just the beginning, and you can only learn from it.

Failure can only open more doors for you as a person and as growth and life.

In L.A., it's very easy to be healthy, because everybody there is so health conscious that no matter where you go, everybody is exercising or eating very healthy, and they have a lot of farmers markets. The problem is when you go on location or I go home to Wisconsin. That's where it gets difficult.

I started acting when I moved to California when I was nineteen. I started auditioning. I was waiting on my manager at the time. I was waiting on her table, and she sent me on an audition. From there, I just kept auditioning and, luckily, got parts.
