Acting is kind of brutal.

It takes years for me to trust; I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.

I'm always amazed at how consistent people find me and my behavior, when in fact I do feel different all the time.

I'm good at disguising my feelings.

Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

I said, going into acting, 'I'm never moving to L.A.,' because it scared me. But there was no way you could build an acting career in Orange County.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
