I do a lot of yoga. I practice yoga three or four times a week. It's an escape for me.

I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful.

It's good to be challenged, to keep moving forward, and keep being inspired and scared. I feel like, if you're not afraid of something, you shouldn't do it. If you're just coasting through things, what's the point? You're not learning.

Over the holidays is when I have the most occasions to cook and bake.

I've reached a point where I'm comfortable in my own skin, and I do what I need to do, to feel good, but I'm built the way I am. The dancer's feet, the bruises on my legs, they're not going to go away. I think real girls have bruises. Tough chicks get bruised. They get dirty. And they have fun.

In my day-to-day life, I'm kind of a tomboy. I like being comfortable.

I haven't personally in my real life had many people close to me die, but my characters have, and I've had to live that as though it's real. And it can take a really big emotional toll on someone.
