My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.

I did not grow up watching much TV and film. I had a very, very, very, very, very, very church family, and a lot of, like, secular stuff was not around my house.

Love is for friends & pets...and family...only if they really love you as unconditionally as your friends and pets.

When I was little, I think that I wanted Superman to be my boyfriend.

Personally, I am a church-going Christian. I love my church, my congregation; it's my favorite place to be.

I was a bartender in New York and I overheard this girl saying she made $3000 doing a commercial. A kid at work told me, 'Hey, I know this director and he'd really like you!'. So I walked into this guy's office and was like 'I was thinking maybe I could make $3000' and he hired me for commercials, short films, like 15 jobs in a row.

I was a criminal science fanatic and went to study it in college as well and I think that helped me [on NCIS] because I was comfortable with the language, I had studied criminal science in school for years.
