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.

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 actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.

I've done a lot of bad TV and bad movies. I've also done some really great things.

Meditation has really helped with keeping my center.

If I wasn't an actress I'd definitely want to do something in the arts and something that was very creative.
