The human condition itself inspires me.

Life is going to test you. But no matter how bad it may seem, we can always step up and beat it.

When things get too chaotic, I need to roam.

There have been many things in my life that have tried to break me, going back to when I was two and three years old. It never stops - life will always push you to your limit. The only way I've managed to survive it all is believing in myself and knowing, somehow, beyond everything telling me otherwise, that I will succeed.

Whether you're a vampire or werewolf, love is still love. Betrayal is still betrayal.

Anything that forces the human soul to scream out and fight really brings out the best in us, and to have an opportunity to portray characters like that is inspiring.

I usually head up to the mountains or out into the desert. Somewhere nobody is. There I can dig deep and find the core that got me where I am today. It's sort of like my reset button.
