I want to do things where the talent range is difficult and that scare me. I thrive on that; if it's not scaring me then I'm not growing.

Cole Haan is like high fashion Nike, so you feel like you're wearing Nike shoes, but you're wearing heels. Every time I'm on a red carpet, I always either wear Cole Haan or Stuart Weitzman. You end up having to walk around all night in these heels and you want to be comfortable and not look like you're in pain. It definitely shows in pictures.

I'd like to try different genres: comedy, period drama, rom-com, action.

My goal on the show was to be professional. But sometimes you cant help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long - which I did for a really, really long time.

People feel like they know you when you're in their living room, weekly, for five years. But I always get uncomfortable when people know more about me than I know about them.

It's challenging and interesting for me to work on projects that are unique and unconventional. I'm so bored with seeing the same recycled material.

The things and the projects that I want to be a part of are not the ones that I get offered. I get offered a lot, but it's not what I'm interested in. So I have to fight very hard for the things that I want to do and to work with the filmmakers that I want to work with.
