I'm really close to all of my family.

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

My father's a protector. My father's old-school. He's a cowboy.

I like having to figure out how to pull things off, how to sell it, how to make it look real, but not just real, make it look better.

I love doing the action stuff. It's soooo much fun!

I think my mom put it best. She said, 'Little girls soften their daddy's hearts.'

I need to work with great directors and actors, people who are better than me, so that I am challenged. It is like playing sports - surfing, basketball, it doesn't matter what it is, if you play with people who are better than you, then you get better too. It is the same thing with acting.
