Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.

I'd pay more just to hear proper English and have everyone keep their clothes on

I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.

I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.

I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.

These days I have to be extra nice in stores. It never fails that whenever I look as bad as I can possibly look or I am sort of cranky because the store is out of something, that is precisely the time when someone one will recognize me and say: 'I really like your show.'

If you do have something you love to do, the fun part of the job is no different than what was fun about doing it in high school for no money. I thought there would be some greater reward in succeeding.
