Growing up, I was always really shy about my body.

When I go home to Santa Cruz, I'm the same girl as when I grew up.

Enjoy the moment and appreciate what you have.

I like to have curves and feel like a woman. I hope that people see that in my photos and know that healthy is better than skinny.

I don't starve myself. Anyone who knows me will tell you I have an appetite. I'd much rather work out and not diet than not work out and have to diet.

For acting, if there's a strong female role and there is that action element, for me that just feels really natural.

Everyone in my family is a nurse except me.
