I still have not given up the idea of becoming a journalist, but at 17 I decided to follow my heart and stay in Los Angeles with my girlfriend as opposed to going to Johns Hopkins.

When I was eight years old I went to visit my brother who was working on a movie of the week with my mother and I saw how much fun he was having and I decided I wanted to try it too.

And I found I didn't like myself at the end of the day because I didn't care for the guy I was playing. I learned a little bit about acting in that.

It is tough to say what has influenced me the most because I know that Mozart makes me think better, but you cannot beat Dave Matthews for feeling good!

Life can only be understood backwards.

Guns are evil! And very little good comes from the availability of a bullet designed to kill human beings!

And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.
