Everybody remembers what it's like to be in high school. We really never leave those years behind.

Be kind to yourself and to others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. I was told that every day of my childhood.

I learned how to get rid of the Southern accent when I was, like, 11 years old and living in New York for the summer doing modeling and commercials and auditioning for Broadway. The mother I lived with for the summer taught me how to drop my Southern accent.

I cannot stress the importance of pausing to take a few deep breaths throughout the day. It's simple and effective.

My biggest vulnerability now is my son, Hudson. I am often plagued with fear: Is he ok? Is he safe? I'm in the process of trying to work through this fear. It's a hard one.

I actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.

Meditation has really helped with keeping my center.
