Dishonesty makes me feel vulnerable.

TV was my life, growing up. I ran home from school to watch television, and even did my homework with the TV on - my mom had a rule that as long as my grades didn't fall, I was allowed to. So it was my dream to work in television.

Dishonesty makes me feel vulnerable.

There is always a reason. When I look back on things that really upset me at the moment, I can always see why it happened in retrospect.

My first waitress job was at Johnny Rockets in New Jersey, and then I waited tables at a sports bar.

I was a theater dork in high school and did all the plays. My theater teacher in high school, Janet Spahr, was absolutely incredible and mentored me throughout school. She taught me a lot about relying on my instincts.

My fear is that, had I stayed in Jersey, I would have become Snooki because I'm just a bottle of hair dye away.
