I've never been one for sitting on beaches. Let me tell you who I am: I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York and worked in a bar while trying to make a living at what I really wanted to do, which was act.

I can only pay my electric bill for my last two years on my acting.

I mean, its hard to be an actor in the city - trying to make it as an actor - because you waitress all night, you get home really late and you're super tired and your feet hurt.

I really like to just jump in a truck with your backpack and just drive and go somewhere.

Well, love is confusing at all ages, but especially when you're 17.

And so when I graduated I moved to New York, and I was waitressing here and auditioning - and I got my first job pretty soon after.
